That's already happening.

No one's suggested that; I'm not sure why you're bringing this up.

My suggestion was that exposing /usr/compilers (and /usr/compilers/bin) is
unnecessary, since the project's interfaces will be delivered in /usr/bin,
the need to choose another version of the product can be done by modifying
$PATH to point first at one of the unbundled installations.
