That is why I originally had meta-python/recipes-python/*.bb, to keep them all together...but we seem to always use one more sub-directory (e.g., meta-*/recipes-*/python/*.bb). I guess it's the extra subdir that bugs me, but that's just a minor annoyance. Having them all in one directory is ultimately preferred over one recipe per directory ;)

I had no idea that such collateral damage might occur. Now it makes sense why you reverted the structure.

Drop this patch in the dust bin.
