I really don't see this as much of a problem. It's not a bad idea to seperate the system files from other files anyway. I've never had data and user files together with system files on any of my systems since I started using a disk based OS back in 92 with my first amiga computer. (It wasn't an issue with the C64!) I think this is a big part of the problem with windoze and dll hell.
