well... I'm not sure of that. I think the reason Targetdirs has
been suggested is because it's very simple, and provides for
later changes where a directory becomes shared when a new component
or module shows up. Yeah you can make that new thing move the
common directories up into Targetdirs instead but why not just
put it in the simple spot instead first?
Or at least, that's why I usually suggested it. You could certainly
argue that if such a new directory is likely forever private to the
new thing then it's ok to have the new thing create it, and I'd
agree, but I wouldn't force it. Targetdirs is just a way to set up
directories properly in the proto area and avoid parallel build races
after all.

well that's true.
