But you've hit the nail on the top. We have prepared for two ways of working with pathes: "UserPaths" can be overwritten like described here, "InternalPaths" are mergeable. So an admin that wants to write his own path as described by Allen and doesn't want to allow for changes mad by users just can set the value into the "UserPaths" and empty the "InternalPaths" (or keeps the "share/template" stuff). Then he can finalize both settings and he will be done. The new schema allows for nearly everything, it even allows to add new paths without changing the schema, one of the worst design bugs in the old schema. Allen, if you don't want to work with the "InternalPaths", do it as I described. The "UserPath" should work exactly as you want (if I understood you correctly). Of course you can't extend (only overwrite) the path "UserPath" by extensions then but as Jörg explained you can't eat the cake and have it.
