I really like this.
This makes so much more sense and, I do dislike the idea of throwing all the program files in a bin directory. Can't have multiple versions, things could conflict, etc...
Personally I already do something like this, I have a ~/Programs/ directory in my home dir and I install all non-RPM programs into individual subdirectories in my Programs dir.
None of that going to root stuff to install programs, plus if I keep my home directory when I upgrade the rest of the distro, all my programs are retained.
