For what hardware are you proposing this? New ones? Or are you saying that we should change hardware that we've already enabled, so now we have two possible locations to consider on those (existing installations and your new standard)?
I take Dennis's suggestion as a packaging decision: Kernel builds can produce dtbs. Ideally they're stored in a place that uboot can easily load them. Storing them on the same filesystem housing the kernel is a sensible approach in that they are both needed, and both come from the same source. For those who have used some other part of the directory tree (EG, /lib), I'd be curious how it's being used and if that's working well. Perhaps a legacy symlink could be used if the directory is moved.
In Fedora today we're using /boot/dtb-`uname -r` which is a mixed bag.
