Or how about using libtool versioning?

Dad: "Hm... what's this Choices folder?" (looks)
Dad: "Huh? It's full of confusing files. Why do I need this?" (hits Delete)

This is not the only example. A lot people randomly delete 
important/unknown folders. A friend of mine ended up saving all his 
documents in C:\Program Files\Windows System Drivers just to prevent his 
dad from randomly deleting them. Of course, he made sure that his dad 
understand that if you mess with drivers you will mess up your computer. 
If he didn't explain that, his dad will have undoubtedly deleted that 
folder too.
