This week Symfony started working on stabilizing the new features introduced for Symfony 3.3, specially the ones related to autowiring. Symfony also added a new Kernel::getProjectDir() method to get the root directory of the project instead of the kernel directory. Lastly, the first blog posts about Symfony 4 were published, outlining the future of the Symfony project.

#A week of symfony
Most of Symfony4's new features look awesome, can't wait to try on-demand components and config. :)
I'm not sure about the bundle-less approach though. Sure it will make symfony "friendlier", reduces the learning curve for newcomers, lowers the bar small projects to consider symfony (less overhead, simpler structure). These are very positive points, and the decision is totally understandable. However I'm wondering about mid+ size project, and project growth. In my experience initial requirements rarely reflect the real complexity of a project. Let's say I have a bundle-less, mid sized symfony project. The project also has a bunch of CMS features, it would make sense to create a separate bundle for them. Most of the time these bundles are not completely decoupled, not open sourced -> not reused. They exists purely as an organization pattern. With the AppBundle, this was very easy to do, only a small refactor... basically a namespace change. Will the bundle-less version support this? Or will we have to solve these problems inside our domain (like App\Cms\Entity) ? What would happen If I had to extend a 3rd party bundle, like FOSUser?
IMO the guidelines should cover scenarios like this. Shouldn't be too hands off...
In Symfony 4, can you make default configuration directory name configurable? I find /etc to not be explicit enough (I know it originates from Unix's /etc, but not every Symfony Developer is Unix Master ;) ). I would like to easily change it to /config or /conf. Could there be a simple method like getConfigDir() similar to getCacheDir() or getLogDir()?
