ASP.NET special folder names changing

According to Kent Sharkey, the special folders in an ASP.NET application, including /bin, will change in beta 2. Using /bin will still work for backward compatibility.

I read a blog somewhere about how annoyed the author was that /bin and such were hard-coded. With the use of folders like /Themes, /Data and /Code, I can see why they're making the change now. However, if you're going to go that far, why hard-code them at all? Let the developer decide via a couple of lines in web.config (or machine.config).

I guess I need to revise lots of stuff in my book...
