+Before you make any comments on these changes, please read the entire +FHS document. Many of these changes are interdependent or are due to +factors outside of our control. The rationale for all of these +changes is located in the FHS document. +

+Major Technical Changes (i.e., most, but not all of them) +
- + /var/lib restored (briefly, it was not reasonable to + relocate it to /var/state) +
- + /var/state removed +
- + Distributions may install software in /opt, but may + not modify or delete software locally installed without the assent + of the local system administrator. +
- + /usr/X386 is no longer mentioned. +
- + /var/mail is still the location that applications should + access for the mail spool. However, it does not have to be physically + located there. +
- + some really old symbolic links have been removed +
- + /var/spool/smail is no longer explicitly mentioned +
+
+Non-technical changes +
- + Various formatting, grammar, and typographical fixes. +
