A few things that come to mind are: - gnome: .gnome, .gnome2, .gnome2_private, .gnome-private all in my home directory, some are used by multiple apps. Maybe this squeaks by since there are subdirs, not files? - WindowMaker: ~/GNUStep is not a dot file (can be made to use something starting with a dot, via an environment variabe) - offlineimap (.offlineimaprc, .offlineimaprc.py, .offlineimap/) - X (.Xauthority, .xinitrc, .xsession, .xsession-errors, .Xresources, .Xmodmap, etc) But perhaps X is more than one "application", dunno. - CVS (.cvsrc, .cvspass) - scummvm (.svummvmrc and .scummvm/) - vim (.viminfo, .vimrc, maybe .vim/) - zsh (.zcompdump, .zlogin, .zshenv, .zshrc) - ion2 (.ion2/.welcome_msg_displayed ; the filename should not start with a dot in order to comply) > ????????????????????????????????dunno???????????????????? > > 6)== > > Allows stuff like /lib64 or the like. /media is added as mount > points -- stuff that used to go under /mnt, which is still > retained.

And we still have a /cdrom link to /media since some programs (like apt) have not transitioned. I don't belive it's possible to safely automate an upgrade of an installed system to use /media. /srv exists on new installs, may not be added on upgrade (I forget). Is not used by anything yet AFAIK. -- see shy jo
