See: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#THEROOTFILESYSTEM Applications must never create or require special files or subdirectories in the root directory. [...] Distributions should not create new directories in the root hierarchy without extremely careful consideration of the consequences including for application portability. We're a distribution. And it's clear that the careful consideration has been done -- including the requisite dealing with application portability. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx> Senior Systems Architect -- Instructional & Research Computing Services Harvard School of Engineering & Applied Sciences -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
