Please explain why any file has to move to keep up with Linux changes. 
File locations themselves have always been arbitrary and within a system 
one place is just as good as another.  The LSB has value exactly to the 
extent that every distribution follows it to the point that 3rd party 
software will work without regard to the distribution and I don't see 
that happening without installer contortions yet.   Other changes 
without backwards compatible symlinks just break things and are annoying.
