Complaints about this
sort of thing are either a failure of the user or software developer
to keep up to date on the file system standards.
My understanding was that file system hierarchy was supposed to be about
how files are arranged so that they would be consistent across
distributions. It should not be about whether we put file systems in RAM or
on RAID or on any particular medium.
To mandate RAM allocation in this way will take many people, including
myself, by surprise. For many users, 50% of RAM is a *lot* of RAM, with
serious performance impacts, and I do not do this on my systems.
