Seriously: Could you cite the precedent for this assertion?

Aside: I'm more than amused that historically the use of fully qualified 
paths and lengthy PATH settings was the norm for Unix and Solaris.  Then 
came Linux, which seems to want to place everything into a single 
directory, because they liked it.  It seems that many people prefer this 
in the interest if EOU. The cost of better EOU is often less available 
choices. Solaris has been slowly evolving to this model.  Tell me again 
how the OSS world is the poster boy for resolving conflicts...
