You're reasoning based on authority *again*. Why? Nobody is telling
anybody to do anything.
However, the FHS itself does not currently define such criteria AFAIK,
and I assume the people in charge of it are wise enough to consider any
*good* suggestion for "good general criteria", whether originated by
Thomas Bushnell, BSG, or J. Random Hacker, yours truly, or a collection
of people who happened to be on debian-hurd and debian-devel at a
particular moment in time.

I'm not calling it off-topic. I do not run this mailing list, I'm not
representing any people involved in Debian. It's not my call. I'm just
someone trying to contribute some of his brain-cycles to the issues
involving Debian, the Hurd, and the FHS. Nothing more, nothing less.
Cheers,
Emile.
