Just to give my perspective here to close the loop, I agree that there could be 
users effected from this I just wasn't sure if that would be common enough (+ 
we have workarounds by specifying the absolute path in config, database etc.) 
to justify both performing all the necessary review and maintenance afterwards. 
I think we've agreed on a somewhat less intrusive way for the change with Sam 
for the maintenance efforts, and we've already paid the review costs anyways. 
So I am also fine with going down this path, and hopefully not ending up seeing 
some surprises on dark corners of the universe.
