well fc3 release notes clearly mention that they have been only added
for FHS compatibility and fedora doesnt actually use them  yet.
whether they will do so eventually is a question that should be asked
in the devel list

I believe the /srv directly is defined as one storing site specific
data so the symlinks above should comply with until fedora gets around
to  moving stuff over there  by default if ever
