I hate to be querulous, but why is it important that all be done the
same way? "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds" --
Emerson.
What makes this consistency an important, wise, or necessary one?
The point of a repository is to be structured - so consistency in
things enhances the value of the repository. Plus things are less
confusing and easier to learn when there's a clear simple option
rather than a compromise 'put whatever you want in there provided it
... '.
