@abatishchev any links to StackOverflow discussions or other documentation about this change?

I think it should be both /out and /drop.

I don't have a discussion on Stack Overflow but internally at Microsoft it's a common practice to move the build drop folder to the root of the project and l these two folders are the most popular folder names for that.

@shiftkey, ping.

@abatishchev this is still rather unsatisfying for me, because if I were to merge this and someone asks why we made this change I don't have anything to point to beyond this quote. Does that help clarify my situation?
