Because now every tool that cares about this folder needs to implement
that same logic. If they don't, then they might be parsing/updating
the wrong file with non-obvious impacts to the user. I just wonder if
it's really worth the hassle? Having parallel but different
settings.xml seems to be the only benefit and I wonder if that alone
wouldn't cause more support problems.
