The value of keeping the status quo is that it is the status quo, IMO.
Tweaking it makes it no longer the status quo and it just means lot of
change for questionable value (again, IMO).

I'd just as soon do away with the games eclass altogether if we're
going to make a change.  Then games become like any other package.
That is a state I think is worth changing for.  If we're just going to
move one or two directories around, I don't really see why we need to
make everybody jump through hoops, unless those few directories are
causing major problems today.

Sometimes the compromise between two arguable positions isn't
something that makes sense to anybody.  If we're going to change,
let's make sure that what we change to makes sense on its own.
