Yes, I think time/inclination probably has a lot to do with it. Also,
I forgot to link to the largest mailing list thread that discusses
these changes in _much_ more detail:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/165799/focus=165885

As you can see, the discussion quickly balloons into something much
larger than a simple discussion of where remote notes should be
located...

That said, your patch 2/2 might be an acceptable stopgap measure for
the time being, and then we can reevaluate it if/when we implement a
larger ref restructuring.
