Well, this is kind of a special case. Someone needs to put hard rules in
the FHS concerning webapps, and tools will follow.

Selinux deserves a big fat § in the guidelines but I'm not the one to
write it. Maybe this formulation is better ?

2. Follow the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard

Always follow the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (http://www.pathname.com/fhs/)
rules when choosing file locations. Exceptions must be approved on the
fedora extras mailing list.
