All, fhs 3.0 was approved in June this year [1] [2].
The piece of it that I want to bring up is the lib and libxx directories, both in / and /usr. The way I read the fhs, /lib and /usr/lib should hold the files for the default abi and /libxx and /usr/libxx should hold the files for the alternate abis. In earlier fhs, there was an exception for amd64 which stated that the default libraries should be in /lib64 and /usr/lib64. However, that exception is now gone. I know there was discussion/work in the past on removing the lib->lib64 symlinks on amd64, but I don't remember what happened to that discussion. So, I would like to bring it up again and get the info. What would it take for us to remove the lib->lib64 links? What would it take for us to do this migration on live systems?
