The fact that you've so often had to remind people not to use ~/ suggests that it violates people's intuitions and expectations about UNIX environments. That's certainly been my experience: I keep having to remind myself not to pile things up in ~/, which forces me to have to rethink a lot of things that have become practically muscle memory, like setting up a virtualenv under ~/ for various handy Python packages. Are the reasons for deprecating the use of ~/ for storage of personal files fundamental to the architecture of labs? If not, I think it'd be worth reconsidering. Thanks as always for maintaining such a useful service. Ori _______________________________________________ Labs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/labs-l
