We are thinking about it. There are two problems that we see today:
1) Android deletes everything in that folder if CC is uninstalled or has its data cleared. This is a highly unfriendly act that we think will bring the Hus to our gate.
2) It isn't clear that reader apps will work. They can open the file for reading (we think) but they will not be able to create any temporary files in that folder. We don't know if any do this.
A third problem is that non of us have a kitkat machine with a removable SD card, so we can't test anything. That problem can probably be worked around with the help of someone who has such a device by sending them privately an APK to sideload.
Bottom line: we aren't yet convinced that the benefits of supporting that special folder outweigh the costs.
