Yes, Ralf says how a sentence from FHS "is meant to be interpreted". I'm giving you a clear statement, that distributions may install software into /opt. Is the interpretation that Ralf is mentioning an official interpretation of FHS authors? Because if not, you are clearly preferring your interpretations over a clear statement. Or is there something more that I don't see?\

Yes.  I said, see the quote.  Not the interpretation.  If you see the quote, you can tell us how you interpret it. It might also be a useful exercise   to look at how other distributions interpret it as well.   What does add-on software mean?   If you want to get a official interpretation, talk to whoever is supposedly trying to revise it now.

Yes, I know the quote, it was me who quoted it in the first place. Add-on application software packages can mean almost anything, which is precisely my point - you interpret it in a very narrow way, and you are not accepting any comments on it. As for the other distributions, I thought we want to do something better/different. Other distributions do not do usrmove and we do, so what is the point in arguing with that?
