Now you are asking if it can be anywhere, and I already told you that this technically is the case. But that doesn't mean that it isn't useful to have them in /hurd anyway. Just as icons can be anywhere, but it is useful to have them all in /usr/share/pixmaps. I even used that particular example in one of the other mails where I explained it.
