Of course it was intentional :) However, we do plan to gradually move towards FHS 2.1 compliance, so we'll be using more of /usr/share in the future. Compatibility symlinks will probably exist as well. > 2) Why use /opt? Well, it too is part of FHS 2.1, and is a good way to modularize major optional subsystems like KDE and GNOME. > 3) Any chance of getting Kerberos in the base system?

I could be wrong though and I guess > that would be the reason. I'd love to add Kerberos to the base distribution; however, since I don't use Kerberos I'd don't think I'm the one to do it. I would definitely support the addition of Kerberos 5 to Gentoo Linux if anyone would like to tackle the project. > As soon as I get more time, I'd definatly contribute to gentoo.
