Hi,
I think this is a strong statement: it means it is good for us to support FHS, but it doesn't require is to make it default.In general, it is more or less irrelevant whether we like the FHS or not. As long as GNUstep works with this layout, and Nicola was kind enough to implement the revolutionary changes in gnustep-make 2.x (which made our lives significantly easier), what the default layout is doesn't matter (at least for distro maintainers, that is).
I personally see GNUstep as something very important and when I use it as a desktop, I consider it more important than the OS underneath and for that reason I want the GNUstep/next Layout and not the Debian/BSD/Solaris/whatever. For me the machine becomse a GNUstep system "debian based" like NeXT or Apple are somehow "BSD based".
This is of course a personal opinion and is also tied to the fact that I try to use everything GNUstep.
It is clear (to me at least, and I never depated that) that a user wanting to install a single GNUstep application in a KDE or GNOme environment may want to have the FHS. Since Debian can't predict its usage FHS is a good generic package.
