Fully agreed that using FHS as a guideline in confusing. It is disappointing that the authors seem to completely ignore changes like the merge to /usr, the ways in which /run is being used, etc. Whatever one may think about it, systemd and the locations promulgated by systemd have become *the* defaults for a great majority of modern linux landscape. Even if systemd was spearheading some of those changes, such decisions have to be implemented by the whole distro, and were coordinated between multiple distros. FHS makes itself obsolete by ignoring them. > In particular, the insistence in sytemd of putting > mountable medie under "/run", and of migrating system-specific > conffigurations from "/etc" to "/run are at direct variance with even > that most recent FHS.

Neither is systemd migrating configurations from "/etc" to "/run" (they would get wiped at reboot ;)).
