> 1. Interoperability with other systems. 10+ million Linux boxes use /var/spool/mail. Its also a spurious claim. All existing tools assume linux uses /var/spool/mail. Other systems even sharing via NFS dont get problems with this /var/spool usage
> 2. Disk space management. We've proved between us that both views are held here. This therefore is a rather spurious claim. A (maybe) symlink called /var/spool/mail that points somewhere arbitary is all that is needed for this issue. The FHS need say nothing else Your arguments don't IMHO hold water, nor in fact anything else
