Specifically, Lennart said that it was required by XDG which he
coauthored :)
Well, ~/.local/share is the default for data. The XDG spec found here:
http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html
makes no reference of ~/.local/bin (or any other directories under
~/.local).
IMHO adding directories to the default path should get a little more
discussion than a single BZ request (and probably shouldn't be changed
mid-release without notice).

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
