Where data files are concerned, however, a developer should only need to distinguish between read-only, read-write, and samples, because any finer-grained distinction that relies on platform-specific concepts (like locale directories) is probably going to be error-prone.

who e.g. are passionate about their locale files ending up
in the right place on Linux aren't going to be happy.
