Comment (by Xi Ruoyao):

 I still don't think it's a valid reason to change the installation path.
 Users cannot easily see for e.g. which package contains /usr/share/et
 either.  If we want all files to be easily recognized we'd change tons of
 packages then.

 Also I checked Ubuntu and Gentoo, both still uses the default
 /usr/share/misc.  Thus just "being the same as Arch" is not a good reason
 either.

 If you must change it I'd prefer `/usr/share/file` instead of
 `/usr/share/misc/file`.  But I don't think it should be ever changed.
