Lack of past rules should not justify lack of future rules, the situation is never going to sort itself without some proactive thinking. All the arguments against specifying any range would have applied as-is when the FHS was written, yet a decade later the FHS has been widely adopted and we are all very happy someone took the time to write some rules in the FHS despite the (then) filesystem mess. -- Nicolas Mailhot -- packaging mailing list packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/packaging
