Yes, this is intentional. Previously there was no directory above
"plugin/" to group files under, the subdirectory under "plugin/" could
be used to group files together:
.vim/plugin/group/one.vim
.vim/plugin/group/two.vim
.vim/plugin/other/one.vim
With 'packpath' there is a directory above "plugin/" that can be used
for this:
pack/mine/opt/group/plugin/one.vim
pack/mine/opt/group/plugin/two.vim
pack/mine/opt/other/plugin/one.vim
The big advantage is that when there are associated syntax files, for
example, they go in the same subdirectory, instead of being spread out.
