I suppose the more important (?) question is, is there any reason not to rename it "kotlin"?

09/22/2021, 3:52 PMAndroid sourceset is… special. it doesn't use a "kotlin" directory unless you specifically configure it, e.g.
android.sourceSets.all { java.srcDir("src/$name/kotlin" }ephemient

Therefore would I be right in thinking there's no harm in making the necessary changes? Surely it looks likely such a change will become standard in the not too distant future?

I have been doing it for quite a while now
