Unfortunately, FHS is dead upstream. Linux Foundation made an attempt at
resuscitation about two years ago, but that immediately stalled again.

I filed this <https://bugs.linuxfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1164> after
talking to Jeff Licquia at LinuxCon, but it hasn't gotten any response.
If we feel that FHS continues to be important, maybe we need to get involved
in that upstream.
