I don't spread things all over my house and from the sound of it neither do you(?). All my bathroom items are in the bathroom. All my kitchen items are in my kitchen. All my office items are in my office. I keep everything VDR in one place. It works great (for me). I see no reason to put a VDR binary in one dir, plugin binaries in another dir, config files in another dir, this stuff in this dir, that stuff in yet another dir.. > If you like to sleep on toilet or shit in your kitchen - I don't mind. > For me, people that like to keep their PC in order behave quite natural, > there's no need to offend them for thinking different. I'm not sure who is offended but if my personal preference & opinion offends you, maybe you shouldn't value other peoples preferences & opinions so much because it's not a big deal. Instead of going on about that stuff, which is completely irrelevant, maybe someone can answer what I've already asked: "As far as the patch, is it really necessary to split the files up even further? What is the real benefit? Also, don't different distros use different dir structures, so what's common on some may not be on others? If this is an attempt to standardize something, it's probably best to find a standard that exists across _all_ distros (if this isn't the case here)."
