Imagine if git, svn, cvs all installed their own "checkout", "clone", "commit", etc. executables. It would become chaos if you had more than one installed. I prefer when various software suites keep their executables in their own namespace, if only for sake of future-proofing, to prevent naming conflicts.

There are always symlinks and/or shell aliases if you want to override that locally.

That's nice, but it's irrelevant because there are not going to be many "flynn" executables.
