I'd personally like to avoid the extra complexity. One can always specify
one's init file directly, change `user-emacs-directory' immediately upon load,
and then manually alter the load path. So, it's not that you *can't* make
dynamically variable initialization directories, it's just not *convenient*.
That being the case, unless more users request this, I think we'd be solving a
problem most people aren't sensitive to, while those few who are DO have a way
to address their needs.
