I see it a tad more complicate than you, let's hope its me
overestimating the task :-)
- the agreement actually should not come among web app maintainers, but
rather among web *server* maintainers: they should agree over a
specific dir and change the default configuration of the web server so
that that dir is the document root (for the default vhost, for web
servers supporting vhosts)
* possibly, migrating to that would require offering migration paths
to package users
- then you might start migrating web apps packages so that they install
(static) stuff under that dir, preserving the per-package path as
detailed in the webapps-common policy
- then, the rule should go into policy (possibly under §9.1.1, has an
exception to FHS, not sure about the section though) and that can't
happen before due to the usual practice-should-predate-policy
If it were me to try to achieve this, I would go for a DEP to keep track
of consensus, ... but no, I'm not willing to drive this, at least not
now :-)
Cheers.
