I would guess it has been influenced by the localedir notably used by GNU gettext (/usr/share/locale). Or maybe mandir (/usr/share/man), which also supports localizations according to FHS: https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/ch04s11.html#usrsharemanManualPages > Apart from easier manual handling, I would say this ordering helps > keeping applications apart from each other, versus, the current spec > looks like it turn the whole system into a big soup. Note that filesystem hierarchy standard already turns the system into a big soup. If you want nicer structure look at GoboLinux or Nix. _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list xdg@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
