You mean a two dollar redhat crack monkey who read the FHS 2.3? ;~)

Having a /srv around might feel funny in the first place, but it indeed 
makes sense if you got used to it.  Pretty nice to find the important 
things to backup for example (when I'm low on backup space I don't want to 
save the users' pr0n).

I think the discussion whether Gentoo wants to adopt /srv or not died away 
without a conclusion about half a year ago.

Cheers,
Malte
