That's not the case for OSTree - it's more like git.  You can put repositories
anywhere you want.  The /ostree directory is pretty much *only* hardcoded right
now in the initramfs tool, and I could allow specifying it on the kernel
command line too.

Yes.  At a very high level, I think there needs to be some mechanism to allow
"experimental" or "research" software in the repository.  It's not like I'm
suggesting this be installed by default.  *And* I'm willing to go through the
FHS eventually and standardize it.

But I can't standardize it until I get more feedback about how it actually
works, and I can't get more feedback about how it actually works until it's
packaged.
