Sure, I'm for the wider use too. The use of Kepler as an example was
just my bias.

What I am saying is that Kepler and LuaRocks would use the default
paths if they were more reasonable. I'm not asking to change the Lua
defaults to what we use.

I really think that the current defaults for Windows are not very
useful. Aparently not only Kepler but others also redefine the paths
as the first thing before starting their applications.

While being redefinable makes the paths very useful, a default value
that is not really used could mean something, no?
