Otherwise there's an extra directory level in there, making ..meta/ different from other directories (making browsing it a bit awkward since it doesn't have metadata of its own - like window coordinates for displaying the directory).
You'd rather do "cat ..meta.pseudo" than "ls ..metas/"? And we already have weird directories. /proc doesn't do things that /tmp does. I also doubt proc will ever store that kind of metadata.
I don't like either "metas" or "..metas", but you'll have to look in the archives for why. I am NOT starting that again. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org
