(I think the issue was with the /usr/doc->/usr/share/doc move, not
with FHS compliance.  The former has the distinction of being highly
user-visible, whereas, for example, almost no-one will notice some
manpages being in /usr/man and others in /usr/share/man, as long as
they are using a man-db with a /usr/share/man-aware
/etc/manpath.config.  I presume that the /var/lib/games->/var/games
move will be similar on that count.)
