Ok, I assume that you are talking about the default directory heirachy...
As far as I know (I am only a volunteer on the project, but I have had
a chance to see what state some of the development is at), the FSF has
not reached that point in development. It is certainly a concern, and
I have been thinking about it myself, but I don't think that any resources
are being dedicated to the problem yet.
