Executable directory? If you have power over user $HOME, you can change user's $PATH. I don't know what this have to do with anything being executable (but maybe I just didn't understand.)

Most businesses that have linux in their suite, won't want a ~/.bin
anywhere in their organization.

This is already in the PATH for ages.
