Why not just do nothing. It costs us less effort (and each move is engineering
effort - just moving xf86config has left fc2 with still broken keyboard config
tools for example). It's less effort for the user as well.

If all our customers in RHEL space start saying "but why not use /srv" during
RHEL4 testing then maybe there is a case for change, otherwise its violating
the first principle of engineering "If it aint broke..."
