Of course it was intentional :) However, we do plan to gradually move |
| 8 |
towards FHS 2.1 compliance, so we'll be using more of /usr/share in the |
| 9 |
future. Compatibility symlinks will probably exist as well. |

Well, it too is part of FHS 2.1, and is a good way to modularize major optional |
| 14 |
subsystems like KDE and GNOME. |

I'd love to add Kerberos to the base distribution; however, since I don't use |
| 24 |
Kerberos I'd don't think I'm the one to do it. I would definitely support |
| 25 |
the addition of Kerberos 5 to Gentoo Linux if anyone would like to tackle |
| 26 |
the project. |
