This is correct and it’s just a temporary solution, during the alpha we wanted to make sure you could run 1.x and 2.0 side-by-side. So 2.0 will store items that didn’t exist in 1.x in their final places within the TextMate folder while temporarily storing 2.0 items in the Avian folder to avoid conflicts. As we move closer to a final release we’ll move everything back to TextMate and get rid of the Avian directory.
