Additionally, requiring users to do this just so that they can load LDraw files created in the past is not a good user experience. Finally, ignoring all that, suddenly adding a new "standard" LDraw directory and stating that moved-to parts all need to go there is definitely not backwards compatible. It is the very definition of "not backwards compatible".
Okay, if there are programs that do not support additional directories, then my suggestion makes no sense.
