Let me clarify, in case the matter at hand is not clear enough for
those who did not follow closely:

I believe we need to decide which of these should be the only
*supported* one (as in: it's documented, we're happy to provide
support for it, and our GUI tools silently setup this kind of
persistent directories).

As far as I know, whatever decision we make, the (live-boot) backend
will continue to support both systems, and advanced users may want to
edit their $MEDIA/live.persist by hand, if they want to use the other
system for a specific set of directories. <Insert disclaimer here: at
their own risk, YMMV, unsupported, etc.>

[...]

Seconded.
