I've got mixed feelings about this, but the reasons I've got for calling 
directories "directories" are probably not very good, so I'm not going to die 
if we decide for "folders". Yet, whatever the decision is, it must become a 
guideline for sake of consistency, otherwise it will be a mess for our users.

Also, if we are to decide on "folders" only, the decision must be taken very 
soon, otherwise there will not be enough time to make the changes, especially 
if you think of what these changes mean to our translation teams.
