That's already happening. > Hardcoding one particular instance of a multi-install family to only > work in /usr/bin (...) ends up being an architectural blunder. No one's suggested that; I'm not sure why you're bringing this up. My suggestion was that exposing /usr/compilers (and /usr/compilers/bin) is unnecessary, since the project's interfaces will be delivered in /usr/bin, the need to choose another version of the product can be done by modifying $PATH to point first at one of the unbundled installations.
