+  <item> The FHS is relaxed to allow a subdirectory of <file>/usr/lib</file>
+  to hold a mixture of architecture-independent and architecture-dependent
+  files, though directories entirely composed of architecture-independent files
+  should be located in <file>/usr/share</file>.
+  </item>
+<tag>9.1</tag>
+  <item>The FHS requirement for <file>/usr/local/lib64</file> to exist
+  if <file>/lib64</file> or <file>/usr/lib64</file> exists is removed.
+  </item>
+<tag>9.1</tag>
+  <item> An FHS exception has been granted for multiarch include files,
+  permitting header files to instead be installed to
+  <file>/usr/include/triplet</file>.
+  </item>
+<tag>10.1</tag>
+  <item> Binaries must not be statically linked with the GNU C library,
+  see policy for exceptions.

+<tag>perl</tag>
+  <item> Perl package should use the <tt>%Config</tt> hash to locate module
