That would be too big a change. The paths under /iglu are hard-coded in a
zillion different places: Apache configuration, cron jobs, utility scripts,
etc. etc. Moving it to somewhere else under the /-directory, will require
many different modifications and you'll still find places you did not modify
after iglu.org.il is hosted on a state-of-the-art 256-bit Optical computer
running Linux kernerl 4.2.12.
And for what good reason? The FHS is primarily meant for distributions so
they'll know how to organize their tree, so there will be compatibility
between them, and their users will know where to find anything in a new
distribution. Administrators are free to add more paths at various places
(that are good enough for that) for their own use.
If we have a new top-level directory, then Debian (or any other Linux
distribution) won't be confused. /iglu is a good enough place to put all the
files that we host as part of the sites. It's more convenient to type
"/ig-[Tab]" to get there than some /srv/ thingaling. And I mean it because
the admins and users of Eskimo go to /iglu _a-lot_.
So please _don't do that_.
I don't mind moving /storage to under /srv (but be warned that it will require
several modifications in different places), though.
