Tom, dont feed the GNU trolls. They live for the day that the one true
HURD is used. As far as I can tell.. /com/ may not be valid under the
FHS so it should be /var. I think that people will not be able to code
under both the GNU Coding Standards and the FHS.  Oh well, I expect
that we will get an email about how is Fedora going to deal with GNU
Documentation License items too :)
