/var/mail back to /var/spool/mail

[Daniel Quinlan <quinlan@pathname.com>]

I'm at LinuxExpo, getting the chance to discuss FHS with some of the
distributions that are looking hard at FHS.  The number one complaint
so far (especially from RedHat) is about /var/spool/mail moving to
/var/mail.  I think I was too willing to move it in the first place.

Anyway, given the current circumstances and who is and isn't going to
be following FHS, changing it back to /var/spool/mail seems reasonable
and possible.

Would anyone object to changing it back?  If we did, I'd like to put
it into FHS 2.1 to disseminate the fix ASAP.  I realize it will be an
inconvenience at best to distributions already working on FHS.  (At
least nobody has released an FHS-compliant distribution so far.)
