*shrug*  What I really care about in this discussion is that incorrect
claims that LSB/FHS mandates/allows something don't become accepted as
general knowledge.  Recently there have been rather many instances of
"X is the standard and you need to follow it to stay compatible" when
X were way too new to be considered a standard.
