The next big piece is the FHS-compatible handling of resource files, which will worth a PEP on its own. You do realize, I hope, that FHS is only followed by Linux distributions and not even fully at that. BSD Unixes, for example, have quite some different hier(7) requirements, most notably that /usr/local is used. So is your intent to have a PEP solely for Linux systems?

I believe the intent is to have enough metadata describing the resource files that any system could be supported, including FHS.
