I actually agreed with Ciaran on this point. especially seeing I would |
| 11 |
like us to follow the parts of LSB that make sense within the Gentoo |
| 12 |
ecosystem. (take Init Script Actions as an possible example |
| 13 |
http://refspecs.linux-foundation.org/LSB_3.2.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/iniscrptact.html). |

This really is bikeshedding...... Isn't consistently following a |
| 26 |
standard also blindly following it. So when you ask us to consistently |
| 27 |
follow FHS why not ask for us to blindly follow it. |
