> Omitting this directory speeds up searches for other files.
This might have been a good reason back when term/ was the only
subdirectory in lisp/ (Emacs 19.x). But nowadays we have 21
subdirectories besides term/ (and soon we will have 5 more). Does a
single directory really make a difference?
It makes some difference; why make even a small slowdown
for all the users just for a small simplification?
Perhaps it would be useful to design some other way to
speed up the search for files.
