Most of your argument in favor of changing the method for determining include path seems to revolve around the assumption that we're going to rearrange the directory at some point, possibly multiple times. But if nobody else wants to do that, then its just academic, and even then, it assumes that end-users will also structure their own extensions directory in the same way. >> A) There aren't that many extensions that add command line >> utilities (several extensions also have scripts and hook based >> extensions so wouldn't neatly fit into such categories) > > Here are the files in /extensions/ that reference > /maintenance/command.inc.
