Noone has asked to "hide it". :-) The proposal here is that both paths are included in $PATH by default. Your personal preference won't be hurt. In fact, it's a different story.

Yes! Fedora *is* a place to do mid-release changes.

A notice, however, must be issued on critical changes (which is not the case here).
