I agree this would provide for increased coherency, but the additional indirection is hardly ideal. And really it's just kicking the caching problem up to a super-object that will probably be thrashed much harder than any individual file, and may be larger than each individual file. All in all it's a "certified hard problem", there's a bunch of domain specific nuance an HN thread couldn't hope to capture.

The extra indirection may or may not be a problem, of course. For a lot of places this is used, it is "index.html," after all. That said, I do find folks bend way too many things into fitting this pattern; such that I do not mean to be dismissive of the criticism.
