Well, ~/.local/share is the default for data.  The XDG spec found here:

http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html

makes no reference of ~/.local/bin (or any other directories under
~/.local).

IMHO adding directories to the default path should get a little more
discussion than a single BZ request (and probably shouldn't be changed
mid-release without notice).
