I haven't been given a single technical reason why using /home would |

cause a problem. What specific incompatibilities are you talking about? |

The same way we detect that scheme before setting a home directory to |
| 26 |
/var/lib/whatever, which you may notice, is not under /home/guests or |

| 28 |
just more FUD? |

I don't want to just complain without offering a solution. |

No one has pointed out any problems with it. |

This stuff is already in /home, and I'd like to get off user.eclass |
