Actually I do see the difference - I think the current layout is
better. My point was that "I can't see any difference" isn't a good
argument for making disruptive change.
 

I think it's obvious that putting multiple caches under one squid
directory is better than having multiple squid directories.

I think it's cleaner to have a default location for squid caches,
rather than just a default cache location.   There's an unnecessary
directory to the same extent as there is with a single home directory
under /home.  

Whether squid goes under /var or /var/cache is a completely different
issue. In the second case you would need /var/cache/squid/cache.

Please don't top-post.
