But we make no guarantees that it will remain so in the future (or that it was so in the past).

Which is the major reason the directory structure is embedded in the archive rather than the end-user's mind.

And as a rather trivial point, to access those directories of the archive, the archive needs to be expanded ("opened").
Where if the user follows the directions: "Extract archive to highest visible level of the attached Kindle storage."; they would be done.
(Which also keeps the complete archive on the PC and the contents on the Kindle.)
Will those instructions even work for the NiLuJe snapshot version? I believe 2018-11-08 minimum is needed for the PW4 while the official package on the MRPI first post is from 2016.

NiLuJe's package is tar.xz so on Windows (e.g. default 7-Zip behavior), extracting directly to Kindle storage only extracts the tar ball.
