7 Seems like GNUstep is a complicated one. I have no idea how it looks like,
8 but to mee it sounds like a whole different subsystem on top of the Linux
9 base? (Probably somehow like the Kolab server which too wants to create
10 its own "root" somewhere, the default being /kolab). I must admit that I
11 have no idea how that fits in (if it can't be split up into something
12 FHS-like). But something like this sounds like a candidate for /opt to me.
