What are the chances that exactly those directories will end up in future FHS
versions? I could not find anything indicating any coordination on that
on fhs lists. Is there some coordination somewhere else?
Bitten by every second release changing where sparc64 stuff is at the
sparc platform and almost each of those transitions breaking my systems
in some way, I'd prefer if everything possible is done to avoid
changing it again with the next or next but one release again.
