Instead of restating large portions of what basically amounts to a 
description of the FHS, it would be much more useful to refer to FHS and 
then state the exceptions and more Fedora specific directories and files 
and describe them in more detail.

We insist on following FHS as part of our packaging guidelines at 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#head-e1c5548cbbe551c7a43d375c524ab2ea0188557e 
. The exception with is libexecdir has also been submitted for inclusion 
in the next revision of FHS. So directories like /selinux and files like 
/etc/fedora-release etc should be documented better and the rest should 
left to FHS as the canonical description of the Fedora directory and 
filesystem structure.
