The WWW is mostly content and you have links and relations all over the place. By allowing relocation you: — make yum upgrades fail – prevent OpenOffice, for example to present a nice selection of CC images for use in impress – prevent a book from referencing another – prevent software from referencing manuals or books on the same field of interest – prevent cataloging apps from emerging — prevent sounds and videos from being reused in games — prevent reader helpers from working (cf the existing Bible/Kuran helpers, and if done right people would write helpers for more mundane content) All this to help people engage in gratuituous file placement like in windows, when they can achieve the same effects with symlinks and filesystem mounts without breaking the installer. Relocation is a false good idea. It is broken by default as was proved many times over whenever someone actually tried to use it. -- Nicolas Mailhot
