Hi all,

How come gentoo doesn't follow the File Hierarcy Standard (FHS) more
closely? For example, there are provisions in FHS to use /var/cache
for stuff which applicatons can recreate if it doesn't exist (the the
administrator can purge the directory at will). Putting 
/usr/portage/distfiles/ there seems obvious to me. But having 
edb/world
in there (with all memory of your world configuations) seems not to 
smart.

What's the philosophy around this? Shouldn't edb live in e.g. 
/var/lib?

Cheers,
/Anders
