>From what I see on the general blogs, yes, /current/ FHS has had its day. HOWEVER, one thing the systemd hubbub /has/ been effective in doing is getting discussion on the topic going again, and there's a new version in the works (with /run suggested, and presumably updated to include /sys, etc), instead of simply ignoring the problem and working around it with distro-specific solutions or non-solutions as the case may be, which was the situation for rather too long. What I do /not/ know is the status of the update, or an ETA on a final version. But if there's no one already, it'd be useful to have at least one gentoo rep in on the discussions, for sure. Otherwise, the new FHS could well be defined by binary distros and assume systemd, either in FHS itself or in the LSB layer above, just as the LSB standardized on rpm. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
