If we let more than one user put files there, we have a small host of
problems to worry about:

will apack of a recipe created by a local user here, then aunpack as uid
#0, produce files not owned by uid #0, possibly by a nonexistent user/uid?

If one user makes a recipe or downloads an archive or unpacks and
compiles an archive, will that interfere with other non-root users'
ability to do the same for the same-named Program? (only a concern if
more than one regular "user" should be able to do this, probably)

a.k.a. I'm not generally very happy with unix permissions/ownership in
the presence of multiple potentially collaborating unix-"users".

But I'd be happy to see something that worked, if found :)
