FHS compliance is one of the first things package reviews get dinged on and it doesn't help if we start down the 'Do as I say, not as I do' route. I would say we either need to drop FHS compliance or use an amended copy and work with the SuSE people on making that a shared standard.

That's pretty much what has been going on. I've been working in
openSUSE for a few years now to rationalize the FHS configuration in
openSUSE to more closely match Fedora. As a result, today the only
differences between Red Hat and SUSE distributions are in
/usr/lib/sysimage/rpm and usage of /srv in packages. I do not think
we'll adopt their usage of /srv anytime soon, but RPM-OSTree variants
already are working to move rpmdb from /usr/share/rpm to
/usr/lib/sysimage/rpm based on upstream feedback. This Change
basically makes it so we use the same rpmdb path regardless of Fedora
variant.
