I don't think "let's try to establish a whole new standard at the expense of usability" is particularly responsible either, that isn't our job. I don't even agree that the concept of a unified Java tree is a good one nescessarily anyway - Unix has long had a unified tree into which applications are installed yet the creators of Plan 9,?who know their shit, have opted to segregate applications on a per-application basis in a manner not dissimiliar to the .jar file concept.
