Hardly. The reason that the FHS evolution has been slow is because the FHS project just moved from the Linux Foundation to freedesktop at the end of last year. And updating things with feedback from the actual distributions is not the fastest thing in the world. The UAPI group isn't a neutral space: it's a systemd-driven project (which while I have no particular beef with systemd, it's not used by everyone and so its specs don't matter to everyone). > Tangent: it might be time for the standard to mention libexecdir. > Omitting this was originally a good choice because it used to be > specific to Fedora/RHEL ecosystem, and it seemed likely that we might > eventually get rid of it to match everybody else.
