You can not share binaries from diferent distributions or even
diferent distribution versions sometimes.
Right. I must've lost or skimmed too much some email.
That is the idea of having ~/.younameit/arch/distro-ver/bin. If you

I prefer many visible configuration files in configurable base
directory instead of many hidden configuration files in my home
directory.
They are visible, just very seldom used or touched, and they fill with
useless clutter desktops in ~/ which is much more user friendly than
brain-dead-Windows-alike ~/Desktop/ . We don't need this folder, we
_are_using_ an operating system designed for multi-user perspective, but
that is a discussion for another list/thread.
