Let&amp;#x27;s stick &amp;#x27;em in `&amp;#x2F;usr`! Oh, but where do user files go? I know, `&amp;#x2F;home`! What about all this other stuff? Eh, `&amp;#x2F;etc` will do.

Although the last time I heard about a major attempt for a modern file system was in Longhorn and all we know how that ended.&lt;p&gt;I guess there are still some fears to try it again, considering that current file systems in mainstream OS&amp;#x27; are &amp;quot;good enough&amp;quot;.</text></comment>
