Yes, it's unpleasant how far that sort of breakage already progressed. However, by definition software not adhering to the current standard is what is broken and not the other way around. There is nothing wrong with changing an old standard if there is a need, though until a new standard is approved / accepted there is no ground to change anything and breaking the current standard on purpose is plain stupid. Btw, do you happen to know what is going on with FHS-3.0 and why there are delays. Wasn't it supposed to be announced in summer 2011? Then do you happen to know a technical paper which actually discuss the advantage / disadvantages of changing the current standard. All I have read on this topic so far looks like propaganda material only or lists non arguments like "less top level directories".
