If we have the chance to support with one structure both systems (online-ca and offline-ca) then it is not a big disadvantage to have a directory with only one subdirectory. This is only a problem if nobody knows about the reason and PKIs are not established by total beginners. I think it's enough if we write a README which is placed in the directory where ca/ or ext/ is placed.
