Not to single Juhana out, but as others has pointed out numerous times,
this argument is totally absurd and pointless. Nearly every system will
have different needs. Until the extfs is totally reliable, linux users
will have to (and should) have different partitions and different mount
points. To avoid problems, larger packages should be distributed as
source that is ready to make, so people can change the paths to what they
want and need. Besides, a few good symlinks can solve a lot of problems.
