I Don't Get It

I'm not sure why they do it. I can honestly say that I pull application folder out of system, and then pull both system and application out of web root.

All the applications I have link to the same system folder, but they each have their own application folder

-system
--cache
--codeigniter
--...
-application
--app1
----config
----controllers
----...
--app2
----config
----controllers
----...

I'm not sure why they package it the way they do. Maybe it's because that's the way they started doing it, and they just continue doing it for consistency sake.
