Finally an honest argument =) I agree. But all we're doing is choosing the default here. GLEP81 lets the user override the home directory in those rare cases to put it under /home/guests. For everyone else, you get /home/user1 /home/user2 /home/user3 /home/user4 instead of /home/user1 /home/user2 /var/lib/user3/home /home/user4 I think it's weird that my bash_history winds up under /var/lib. > Besides, nothing guarantees that your username under /home won't collide > with an existing subdirectory name. You can make the same argument about /var/lib. And keep in mind that we already have "collisions" for $HOME every time someone switches from user.eclass to a GLEP81 user. The risk for /home is no greater than anywhere else, and we've deemed that risk acceptable, whatever it is.
