I know that this is a rehash of previous discussions, but it's a stretch
to claim that usrmove is against the FHS - the most you can really argue
is that there's a requirement for recovery tools to be in the root file
system, but given that there's also a statement that /boot contains
data used before the kernel starts executing user-space processes it's
clear that this predates the modern initramfs. It's explicitly permitted
that the mandated directories in / be symlinks.
From a practical perspective, I do tend to agree that putting software
under /opt/fedora would be in line with the FHS and also unlikely to
break anything.
