People keep asking about this issue because they fail to understand 
the logic behind OS X. I like it myself. Now whenever Logic is updated 
we no longer have to drag our old EXS folders, Autoloads, Preference 
files and so forth to the new Logic folder. Each recent version of 
Logic knows where these things are found.
