Yes, that's true of course. But aren't the games startet by the desktop
entries which point to a wad file directly anyway? The built in wad
browsers of the game engines aren't really used in that scenario, so we
could split up the wad files into separate directories.

I just feel it's getting too messy in /u/s/games/doom, especially if we
add support for all the shareware-versions of heretic, hexen and strife to g-d-p.

And then I'd like to add support for doom pwads to g-d-p. They would also
end up in the same directory, making it even more crowded.

Of course I'll change the patch so that all wads end up in one directory if
you still think that's the best option.
