And just to make sure, I had a look back up the thread to see what your
complaints were, and the only thing you said in this thread was on the
21st of March, msgid <20030321210459.GA27769@thunker.thunk.org> when you
said:
>Doing this would violate the FHS....
It was replied to by Anthony Towns, who said:

It seemed to me that opinion was more swayed towards giving this a try, and
seeing what happened.
I don't know what it will take to convince you, but I would like you to
answer these questions:
Do you think having programs write to /etc is a bad thing?
Where would you put /etc/mtab, to keep /etc sacrosanct?
