there could be reasons to change:
you can define a sysaction for creating BE_USER. This could be done by 
non-admins. So it also could be useful to put these users to another 
folder for better control.

Imho pid is never used with BE_USER, so sharing users to folders could 
be a way for own structuring. Root is used by many records like all the 
static, very fast overloaded.
