OK.  Well, I'm talking about the FHS specifically, as the Debian
maintainer of the GNUstep libraries, because the FHS is what Debian
cares about.

Personally, I don't care much about what GNUstep does on Windows or
other UNIX-like systems, although I do agree that it is a valuable
discussion.  I'm just not going to be able to provide much useful
discussion on other systems, since it's not my area.

True enough.  My main concern, though, is that since the FHS doesn't
define those directories, users might get upset if we start creating
random directories in ~.
