Adding a stanza to a couple of files too high a price to pay?
Your solution ignores all the points made in the proposal:
* The transition may take a long time, going by previous
transitions, and not all packages are upgraded anywhere near
simultaneously.
I think that expecting _*all*_ packages to have moved before we
release potato is futile, unless we do not plan on releasing
potato for 18 months or so. We *_cannot_* expect to get FHS
compliance in place by potato.
* We should not break backwards compatibility during the transition
period. This is a quality of implementation issue
During the transition, we need to provide backwards
compatibility, firstly for programs ike `dwww', and `dhelp', and
also for our users who have gotten used to looking under a single
dir (`/usr/doc/') for docs (`/usr/doc/`package''). During the
transition, the documentation could be in in two places, and that
is not good
Against this, I do not think that this is too much to ask for.
