It all depends what you do, but if you do massive hosting (eg, a shared
hosting server), then you'll be tempted to do:

/var/www/sites/$USERNAME/example.com/subdomains/www/html

which is what I decide to do, but which would be too much for a "normal"
use. So yes, we can't, and shouldn't force, any scheme.

As pointed earlier, /var/www/html has the advantage to exist in other
distributions, so it's a good choice!
