I started a discussion about the directory name on the fhs mailing list:
https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/fhs-discuss/2019-June/000500.htm...

Please help and comment there, too, so that this discussion will not 
end again with "use something below /usr/lib or /usr/share" and no
agreement on one directory.

Thanks,

Others in the FCOS community, can we try to weigh in on the thread Thorsten linked to?
