But that's the trouble - half the people in this thread have assumed that /srv would be remote mounted in from somewhere, others have assumed it would be local data only, and others have thought it *should* be sharable. Indeed, there's even been variation of opinion of whether or not /var can be mounted in from a remote source (I choked when I saw that, but hey, /var-is-local-machine-specific-only is just the way I learned it). Point being that basic assumption in our own user base are wide and varied, and so regardless of what FHS or LSB or our Devs or anyone else says, there will be a wide variation of how people will want to do it on their own machines / at their own sites. Gentoo's greatest strength is it's flexibility and it's lack of imposed dogma. Please don't loose sight of that precious, wondrous and, [in Linux distro space] unique aspect of your work.
