I do touch gentoo, but I also would like if gentoo would put those "mega 
apps" (kde and gnome)
in the /opt, I don't know if there is any rule* about this, I just like 
them better in /opt..


Something that might be related to this is the question:
Does gentoo folows the linux standart base? url: http://www.linuxbase.org

*: after looking in google it seems that there exists a supposed standart
File Hierarchy Standart url: http://www.pathname.com/fhs

What do developers and Drobbins think of this, {should,are,must} any of 
this standarts be followed?
