In theory you are correct. But these tools are (for now) living a dual life. There are utilities and executables that we make available in our unbundled product that are part of the packages we deliver for the core tools, but which might not appropriate for putting on the user's default path. (The 'version' command is the poster child for this.) So there might be things in /usr/compilers/bin that some people might want to run sometimes, but we wouldn't want to have symlinks for them in /usr/bin. This is a wart, and I don't expect many people will ever care enough to add /usr/compilers to their search path for this reason. But technically /usr/compilers/bin is not completely an internal directory. > > Danek
