From what I see, the games project didn't care about the QA vote [0] |
| 29 |
either and have since been keeping their old workflow and using and |
| 30 |
developing games.eclass further. What makes people think this will |
| 31 |
change? Do we want to increase inconsistency now and have 3 layouts for |
| 32 |
games or fix the underlying problem? I've seen numerous claims from the |
| 33 |
council to do that, none of them were successful. |

FHS says that /usr/games is optional [1] (same for the other games |
| 44 |
related locations) and it doesn't specify in what way this is optional, |
| 45 |
so I think it makes sense to just leave it out and use standard |
| 46 |
locations, which will also heavily reduce required patching. |
