My question is as follows: looking at the various icon-theme packages
in Fedora, they seem to adhere to the following directory hierarchy:

However, looking through some icon packs on the Internet, many
authors use the following hierarchy instead:
- apps

Is there any kind of preference in Fedora for the first option, so
that one should move the files around to match it, or should the
directory hierarchy be left they way upstream does it? I guess since
the "index.theme" file lists all the paths, it doesn't matter from a
technical standpoint, but I still thought it'd be better to ask.

I think the only thing that matters is the theme index file, which
lists out all the directories:
