stand-alone, but I also think that the "link" is their role, they are all |

used for administrative purposes *inside* a Gentoo distribution ("inside" |
| 11 |
might be the right keyword to justify a little deviation from the FHS). |

In the opposite direction, in according to your opinion, I don't see a reason |

to have /var/lib/gentoo/news instead of something like /var/lib/gentoo-news. |
