Okay, I'll bite. Why is this _particularly_ unfortunate? The directory isn't actually "invisible", just hidden. There are plenty of hidden files in home directories which are executed all of the time, like ~/.bashrc and ~/.bash_profile, and whatever X startup scripts your environment uses. Now, if you want to argue that nothing user-writable should be in $PATH by default, I can maybe see your point, although I also see the convenience trade-off, and a) that ship has long sailed and b) no one seems to be arguing that. -- Matthew Miller ☁☁☁ Fedora Cloud Architect ☁☁☁ <mat...@fedoraproject.org> -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
