It makes sense to follow FHS. Sure, I can work around poor designs by |
| 6 |
sticking mount points all over the place, or manually setting my |
| 7 |
config to put stuff in sane locations. It makes more sense to put all |
| 8 |
the volatile stuff in /var, than to mix it up all over the place and |
| 9 |
get users to set up separate mountpoints to make up for it. |

If somebody is doing a new Gentoo install, why would they want to put |
| 12 |
the repository in /usr, and nest a few GB of distfiles inside of the |
| 13 |
repo? Why should that be the place we direct them? There is no |
| 14 |
history for them. A brand new install should put things in the most |
| 15 |
logical place. |

By all means let existing users decide whether to move stuff. I'm |
| 18 |
sure we have plenty of users with make.conf in /etc/. |
