What do you mean by "standardize versioning" ?

</I>
File location are already standardized by FHS.
And can you explain what you mean by "compatibility with current distro
could be achieved by symlinks" ?
><i> c. Standardize init scripts
</I>><i> By similar reasons.
</I>
Already started with systemd.

</I>
Everywhere seems to be a little bit exaggerated, unless you also add
windows, mac os x and *bsd in the mix ?
