I still dislike this default. Am I really the only one?

Very fine. Also make sure, for the layouts that need "GNUstep.sh" to be 
sourced, that if possible a decent message is printed out. We might need 
to update gnustep-make and the makefiles generated by, for example, 
ProjectCenter and check the makefiles of stuff generated manually. A 
standard message will help the user who choose that kind of installation.

I don't think either. It is the FHS buzzword that people expect when 
they are choosy and want FHS. Unix appears to be to generic.
