Personally I like what you've proposed.  On a related note, I dislike
that the suggestions do not include absolute paths.  I don't want to put
"my-profile/bin" in my PATH; I usually want to put
"$(pwd)/my-profile/bin" on my path.  If you follow the suggestions when
using relative paths, things break as soon as you cd somewhere else.
