To be honest, to make everything work as easily as possible for Joe User,
we'd need to use FHS as the default layout.  Then everything is
just in their PATH from the very beginning and that's it. But our policy is

I don't think we have a decided policy on this, just an established practice. Maybe I missed the debate/conlusion?

I certainly don't have clear/strong opinion, but I think on balance, my vote would be to have a policy of using the FHS. However, I feel quite strongly that any change should not break things for existing users, so someone updating an existing system would get what they are used to, but a new installation from scratch would default to using FHS.
