Removing the games directories was considered in <https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/fhs-discuss/2011-May/000002.html> and <https://bugs.linuxfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=766>, but there was no consensus. The FHS 3.0 as published by the Linux Foundation says essentially the same things games as FHS 2.3: > [/usr/]games Games and educational binaries (optional) > ... > [/usr/share/]games Static data files for /usr/games (optional) > ... > Similarly, a /usr/lib/games hierarchy may be used in addition to the > /usr/share/games hierarchy if the distributor wishes to place some game > data there. (/usr/local/games is technically also mandatory, although I'm sure that's an oversight and it was meant to be optional...) Debian can choose to put games in the /.../games directories, or in the standard directories /usr/bin, /usr/share etc., or any mixture of our choice, orthogonal to whether/when we move to FHS 3.0. smcv
