You're reasoning based on authority *again*. Why? Nobody is telling anybody to do anything. However, the FHS itself does not currently define such criteria AFAIK, and I assume the people in charge of it are wise enough to consider any *good* suggestion for "good general criteria", whether originated by Thomas Bushnell, BSG, or J. Random Hacker, yours truly, or a collection of people who happened to be on debian-hurd and debian-devel at a particular moment in time. > The fact that it is not on topic for this mailing list does not mean > it isn't on topic anywhere. I'm not calling it off-topic. I do not run this mailing list, I'm not representing any people involved in Debian. It's not my call. I'm just someone trying to contribute some of his brain-cycles to the issues involving Debian, the Hurd, and the FHS. Nothing more, nothing less.
