how closely does fedora 20 adhere to the FHS? if FHS is relevant amymore.

[Robert P. J. Day]

while i appreciate the formalization of the Filesystem Hierarchy
Standard (FHS), it's certainly been a while since it's been updated:

http://www.pathname.com/fhs/

is it still used as a file/directory layout standard? how *is* it
used these days? surely things have changed somewhat since 2004,
although the general concepts of the FHS are still totally valid.

follow it
