FHS again!

OSNews has an excellent article on the FHS. The writer's point which I totally agree with, is why try to hide the directory structure from normal users and make it hard and nonstandard so only ' super users' can understand it.

Seriously. Why shouldn't normal users see the original directory structure on their machines? Are we purposefully trying to prevent users from learning how their systems work? Isn't the goal of Free and open source software to allow users to take ownership of their systems again, contrary to proprietary software such as Windows? If that's the case, than why do we still hang on to an incomprehensible directory structure that pre-dates the first ice age?

Amen.
