Nothing in FHS says an OS can't use directories not in the FHS.
What you neglected to show was where NTPsec installed itself?
By default, my NTPsec installed here:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 71992 Sep 27 16:01
/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ntp/packet.py
Which is a little odd, but no way in conflict with the FHS.

Check out your root directory. It still has /bin, /dev, /etc, /opt,
/sbin, /usr, /var, and most of the other things you would expect. And
they are used in the way the FHS would approve of.
So, I still fail to see an issue here.

You really think I did not test it before my last reply? I got NTPsec
pieces spread all over now on macOS since the last few changes.

I fail to see the problem there? Or what you are trying to show?
Or why I should care?

Why would you even do that? You totally lost me.

Sigh, I hate to sound like a broken record, but we have all agreed
several times today that we would like to do without PYTHONPATH. No
need to say it is a point of difference, it is not.
How about we work on that instead?
