Jeff,

This might seem rather blunt/rude but honestly I don't foresee the FreeBSD  
project integrating with the FHS. The hier(7) layout has been a lot of  
work and it's something the project really strives to standardize on. As a  
FreeBSD user, we've been used to "porting" applications to not only run on  
FreeBSD but also adhere properly to the hier(7) structure. But if the FHS  
wants to adopt hier(7) we won't complain....


Regards,


Mark
