The only downside I face is that extracting archives from those trying to workaround ill-behaved extractors results in an extra superfluous directory. An annoyance (well, a pet-peeve TBH), but clearly not anywhere near as bad.

I just don't see how it could *possibly* make any sense to NOT do it this way.

Well, that's my rant about it, anyway. ;)

:) on Ubuntu the default extractor always creates a new directory and if it finds a single directory inside that new directory after extraction is moves that directory out of the new directory and deletes the now empty new directory.
