It is exactly where to put them. What would be your choice?
I also disagree about documentation needs for this. Apple users don't want and don't need
to know such details. It just works. :)
The exact locations are also visible from the configuration page. Every CouchDB user is familiar
with this.

That would be nice and falls in the sandboxing category which we definitely should adopt.
But I see no immediate need for this for the current version.
Changing is also not that easy because there are dependencies:
The log is connected to the logfile viewer.
The uri is connected to the shutdown scripts to do a final commit.
Would you stop publishing without these changes.
