ASSP has been split up on Gentoo since ~November 2006. When I first split it up 
and make the package

In some close to 10yrs, not that many bugs and very few if any related to 
splitting it up. Most were related to path issues or other things that 
resulted from the split up, but were minor and addressed.

Only weak code would break if you make changes to it. Good code can be modified 
to a variety of situations. Why anyone would have issues with FHS is beyond 
me...

If someone was going out of their way to not be FHS compliant or had a program 
that could not be modified to be FHS compliant. Might need to re-approach such. 
FHS is a long time Linux standard most every Linux distro adheres to and 
requires for any packages.

Splitting up the install, and not having a monolith assp.pl are very much 
related. No monolith install, or assp.pl.

extensible code that can be easily maintained and repurposed by developers 
other than its creators. The Unix philosophy favors composability as opposed 
to monolithic design."
