One may also have the opinion that you voiced your anti-RH attitude
often enough.
Rubbish, I do not have an anti-RH attitude. It's just that
there are
people on RH's payrole, of whom I feel are abusing their position @RH.
I also feel that RH often presses through decisions and immature,
questionable piece of SW in ways, I consider to be violent.
Besides this, wrt. my sentence above - RH distros ever since they are
around, have been using /usr/lib/<package> as "last escape to the FHS".
It's a RH tradition, nothing more, nothing less - It doesn't strctly
comply to the FHS, but it doesn't hurt much in most cases.
Seriously, anyone reading this list already knows that if
a guy from Red Hat does something, whatever it may be, you are against
it.
Well, this is a misperception - I am remaining silent on the vast
majority of occasions and only become vocal when I feel things are
derailing and/or regressing.
It's just that RH very often is involved in leading roles of such
incidents and that Fedora often is proud of cases.
This doesn't mean by any means, I hate RH or I think "all @RHs are
assholes". RH is a big enterprise, so they inevitably have people with
all kinds of attitudes and skills on their payrole - Rest assured, the
vast majority is doing an excellent job, but there are a few who do not.
But ... this "UsrMove" feature ... with all due respect, I was shocked
when reading it. To me, this proposal is the silliest and dumbest thing,
I have ever seen being proposed in Fedora.
That said, I am eagerly awaiting your patches that make libreoffice
use
FHS instead of placing everything into /usr/lib/libreoffice.
Pardon, but are you
expecting _me_ to do _your_ job? Should time permit,
I may check which steps would be required to make libreoffice more FHS
compliant, but my contingent of _spare time_, I have available for
Fedora already is overdrawn.
