[$] Finding a successor to the FHS
The purpose of the FilesystemHierarchy Standard (FHS) is to provide a specification forfilesystem layout; it specifies the location for files and directorieson a Linux system to simplify application development for multipledistributions. In its heyday it had some success at this, but thestandard has been frozen in time since 2015, and much has changedsince then. There is a slow-moving effortto revive the FHS and create a FHS4.0, but a recent discussionamong Fedora developers also raised the possibility of standardizingon the suggestions in systemd's file-hierarchydocumentation, which has now been added to the Linux Userspace API(UAPI) Group's specifications.
