Why is FHS stupid? I haven't read it fully since 2006 but at the time it was completely sensible to me. Stuff ends up in predictable sensible places that you can rely on.
The one thing it did not mention explicitly was funky things like gentoo SLOTs or /usr/kde/
But, FHS itself already tells you how to do it conceptually: just follow the lead of /usr/local/ and do the exact same thing somwhere else.
The most impressive part was laying out exactly what kind of things you should expect to find in
/usr
/usr/local
/opt
~/bin
