I haven't been given a single technical reason why using /home would cause a problem.

The same way we detect that scheme before setting a home directory to /var/lib/whatever, which you may notice, is not under /home/guests or anything like that. Does this cause a real technical problem, or is it just more FUD? > I also wonder why you would send this patch, when there wasn't a single > voice supporting your proposition in the other thread and several > opposing ones. I don't want to just complain without offering a solution. No one has pointed out any problems with it. This stuff is already in /home, and I'd like to get off user.eclass without introducing a new QA warning for a keepdir file.
