GoboLinux and Replacing the FHS

"Personally, I have invested time in coming up with more elegant ways to organise file systems too, but seeing I'm not a programmer, my work is of the theoretical and conceptual nature. The reason I have issues with the FHS has to do with the fact that is simply unclear. One directory is supposed to be for files of type xyz, but exceptions are made all over the place, and to make it even more fun, different distributions have different exceptions, but in the end, all still comply with the FHS. It is a god-awful mess."
