Definitely! While removing the B_COMMON_* constants from the public header
is the right way to go if that directory is actually gone, finddir still has
to support them pretty much forever, as this is an actual compatibility
issue.
I also think they should be honored by finddir - and possibly even
redirected to B_SYSTEM_* as that was basically what BeOS did with
them, wasn't it?

Sure, although they should probably redirect to the non-packaged system tree. Depending on what the caller wants, whatever path we chose, finddir might not be able to satisfy the requirements in all cases, though.
