Dang-nabbit there goes my LWN quote of the week.. foiled by facts once again. I would have gotten it too if it hadn't been for that Gallagher and his Wikipedia article too.
When I went to look for where the FHS was.. the top links were
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/ and a bunch of other pages referring to that link. Of course if I had clicked on the wikipedia article I would have been informed on it being updated to the 3.0 version. Which also goes into hier and similar standards which is where I remember various wars from long ago about /afs/ being fought. I went looking at the Debian packages associated with afs, and they look like they punt on /afs as the documentation makes it out like another kernel level filesystem (/run, /proc, /sys) but doesn't seem to create a /afs in what I could get from my 10km viewing.
