Thanks for the heads-up.
Is this documented somewhere ? I don't quite understand the reason to do all this.
Cheers,

Most distros have started this push toward what was envisioned as LSB a decade of more ago. Arch completed the merge several years ago. There is some quirkiness in where things actually end up, some arbitrariness as well, but so long as all (most) distros stick to the plan it will make things easier to maintain cross distro. (not that it was that hard before) The ultimate goal is to create an environment for container'ized apps to know where everything is. (I think container'ized apps are junk and a kludge for those to lazy to manage a package tailored for the distro, and they are disk-storage hogs, but that's just my .02) Sure, require 3 separate instances of apache to run, one for your groupware, one for your nextcloud, and one for your normal site pages -- makes sense to me (not). Why? (the real reason is people are too dumb to set the servers up with the dependencies and configs, so just wrap it all in a container and tell them how to type "start foo.img" and "stop foo.img" -- and that's supposed to help. At least the latest push to LSB is a good effort -- so long as it isn't solely to usher in containers, flatpacks, appimg, docker and all the other current trendy sandboxes. -- David C.
