I totally agree. The FHS is not only a nice standard (even though I see why |
| 10 |
some distributions don't follow it 100%) it also is a nice document to |
| 11 |
explain users why and how a Linux system is structured. |

And it's not like the FHS is static, it has changed several times and with |
| 14 |
good pro/con references they will change the standard accordingly. |
