ok then, according to the spec all of the Fedora.us (Fedora Extras)

I don't know. I'm not advocating moving anything to /opt. For a number
of reasons I hate it. What I'm saying is just moving a bunch of stuff
to /svr won't achieve FHS compliance unless /opt is addressed. I think
that the FHS is a bunch of hooey, to be honest.
