Agreed, this only is for static / data files, is that not what you meant?

Ern, /usr/games isn't mentioned elsewhere in the doc and is very 
deprecated. I believe they forgot to update this part of the doc when 
/usr/games got removed.

I vote for /use/share/games/xxx because /usr/share is already rather 
crowded.

What do you / others vote?
