You could have used anything as prefix, even no prefix at all, because
the generated sample will be unique in the <pictype> directory.
But the point is: the user of a download package doesn't have this
background information. He may ask (at least I would) "what is the
difference between samples of which the filename starts with sample_ and
other samples?". I would like to avoid spending time to explain this to
every user (and save time for 'real' support).

Yes, but I also said that users might prefer to have all samples in a
single directory and then the filename must be made unique and indicate
the pictype. (For the samples generated from a board file you could
also add the PICtype to the name).
If we decide to keep separate subdirectories for each pictype I could
rename all my blink samples to 'blink.jal'.
