I've never heard of ~/.local/bin . Are there many people who use
this? ~/bin is common.

~/.local/bin has been there by default.

Unlike ~/bin, which is in PATH though not even created.

Where in the path do the user 'bin' elements appear in the path?

In /etc/skel/.bash_profile they are added to the end and I think that is ok

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/bin

Never knew about ~/.local/bin my .bash_profile is really old from the
time where the default was only ~/bin

Mmm ok ... Can I assume root is excepted from this?

It's the other way round on my machine. Both are in my $PATH but ~/bin
exists (I may have created it by hand) and ~/.local/bin/ doesn't.

These are defined by ~/.bash_profile which is copied from
/etc/skel/.bash_profile on account creation.

[manu@munshine ~]$ grep PATH /etc/skel/.bash_profile
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/bin
export PATH

You can. That is the case.

a clean F15 install has PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin, not the same
/etc/skel/.bash_profile but still has ~/bin

Can someone explain (or point to) the rationale appending these to PATH
rather than prepending them? I would have expected user binaries to
supersede system ones.
