This is a change and honestly, I have do say, that I don´t like it, because why should I open a gallery! I could just mix some stuff!

It might be a recent change. When we started these monthly challenges several years ago it was among the PaD community that it arose and it was mostly to better our craft by focusing on one theme/style/subject for a month long cycle. It seems a natural part/element of PaDding since it is a daily challenge with a month long theme. I can say that I have always posted them to my PaD gallery. Some themes have been strong enough to warrant their own gallery but mostly they fall into galleries that I already have in the works (and often various galleries over the course of the month). Regardless, they start in my PaD gallery because they are part of my on-going PaD challenge.
I know some have set up challenge galleries but it is not the way I have set up my Pbase galleries. The only dedicated challenge gallery I have is PaD one(s). I started a dedicated gallery for the "Calendar Girl" year long challenge in 2009 but that faded away. It will likely end up deleted as a part of my Pbase gallery setup.
I may be misinterpreting what you are saying. Please let me know if I am.
