Agreed.  I have another: portability.

I never develop on a live site.  I always setup on a test server, behind a 
firewall/NAT/intranet/whatever, then copy the whole shebang over to the live 
server at once.  Currently, all you have to do for that is flush the cache 
and update settings.php.  Now we're talking about adding a rename-a-path 
step.  As Khalid said, that can be problematic.  

I don't see anything wrong with /default/.  Most installs, I suspect, are 
single-site.  Let's not make things too complicated for single-install users 
unnecessarily.  /sites/all doesn't require removing /sites/default, which is 
still very useful.

himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession 
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas
