The FHS gives different meaning to directories than the systemd folks |
| 13 |
like it to be. Yes, it's unpleasant how far that sort of breakage |
| 14 |
already progressed. However, by definition software not adhering to the |
| 15 |
current standard is what is broken and not the other way around. |
| 16 |

| 17 |
There is nothing wrong with changing an old standard if there is a need, |
| 18 |
though until a new standard is approved / accepted there is no ground |
| 19 |
to change anything and breaking the current standard on purpose is plain |
| 20 |
stupid. |

Btw, do you happen to know what is going on with FHS-3.0 and why |
| 23 |
there are delays. Wasn't it supposed to be announced in summer 2011? |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Then do you happen to know a technical paper which actually discuss the |
| 26 |
advantage / disadvantages of changing the current standard. All I have |
| 27 |
read on this topic so far looks like propaganda material only or lists |
| 28 |
non arguments like "less top level directories". |
