No, I would be invalid argumentation - I know it - you know it, so let's not

I actually agreed with Ciaran on this point. especially seeing I would
like us to follow the parts of LSB that make sense within the Gentoo
ecosystem. (take Init Script Actions as an possible example
http://refspecs.linux-foundation.org/LSB_3.2.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/iniscrptact.html).
It's not the point to blindly follow freedesktop or LSB - the point is to
consistently follow one standard across whole distribution - if it's FHS -
fine, if not - fine as well - but *only one* at a time.

This really is bikeshedding...... Isn't consistently following a
standard also blindly following it. So when you ask us to consistently
follow FHS why not ask for us to blindly follow it.
Man this is getting boring.
