I would ask that Valve please move these directories into a subdirectory. They look like garbage temp directories that are not being cleaned up.

Placing these under a subdirectory with a static name would make it easier to prune them from symlinked installations, and probably have a number of other benefits.

Do this for the same reasons that it is bad for Windows to create randomly-named temporary directories under the C:/ root.

I am CERTAIN that there is a good reason for the crazy filename.  But I don't 
know what it is.

I've got another question, the folders like 
667d73250a8a21cbc9ff376aae86a31aaf4aad3b in the base folder, can they be 
ignored, or are they needed by the server?
