I feel inclined to disagree with this. It's time to get ready
for the big changeover. FHS and LSB standards are very
important for programmers AND distro makers to get a firm grasp
of, and these tenative standards are an excelent example. FHS
compliance is very important if technologies like universal
installers and universal RPM's are to become popular.
Subsequently, Mandrake should show its support of the upcoming
standards in their release to not only bolster support of the
standards, but to assist in preparing programmers as well.
