Really? When did you install GNU/Hurd to figure that all out? :)

May I ask you why you care that much about the FHS? I almost hate the
FHS because of all those useless discussions about it on the Hurd
mailinglists.
Sometimes I wonder why people don't hack instead of discussing things
forever. Is it *REALLY* that important if there are two extra
directories on GNU/Hurd? How about /sys in GNU/Linux, etc?
