Oh, that path will be horrible! Variable substitution is really
important since it is an abstraction to make the same org file works on
different hosts with different path hierarchies. I believe there are
lots of users already rely on it, even without being documented. The
reasonable thinking would be supporting more substitutions, rather than
remove any.
