Sure.  And if /ppc can't be consistent either, all the more reason.
Also, yes, +1 for the mount -t auto working on squashfs bug being filed.

The main thing was getting straggler strangely named files out of /.  I
guess since iso and syslinux have linux in the name, they are at least
relatively intuitive.  And once we have perhaps /documentation or the
like, perhaps a brief manifest/outline of the filesystem layout can be
included somewhere...
