Thanks for the feedback. The reason I like specs is because it aligns w/ the pluralization of stories. Also, it's not a system specification, it's a directory filled with object specifications. However we do any of this, we should make it configurable so that even if the default is specs/stories in the project root folder, you can easily choose to put them wherever you like and rake, spec and autotest all work as expected.
