Quick answer: Go for it. Simplification is good.

> Changing a snapshot build's configuration seems like an improvement to me, but it will likely break someone's workflow or some automated process, and they'll have to adapt. See also the earlier thread, [Rationale for per-version user scope packages?](https://racket.discourse.group/t/rationale-for-per-version-user-scope-packages/543), which started out as an argument in favor of the opposite change toward more sharing.

I haven't been able to contribute or even use Racket as much as I'd like in the previous year anyway, so the impact on my workflow should be minimal I guess. (If you'd like to make even more aggressive changes and I'm the only one likely to be impacted, please do proceed.)
