That is /etc and for the individual ~. There are other places for
different reasons. Perhaps some things need improvement, but that has
nothing to do with the fact that there is no standard place to put
shared data.

That is irrelevant as to what the standard directory will be.

I think not. If all shared files are in one place it causes more work to
share different stuff in different ways among different users.

I keep different data shared in different ways in different locations,
but again, YMMV.

There is nothing that you need stop doing that. I think it still might
be a good idea to have a default place offered for shared data.

Everything has a standard place in the hierarchy.

Very often I see that SUSE file hierarchy is different than others.

So you agree that a standard is good. The fact that there is improvement
needed for things now is also true. One does not exclude the other.

I do agree. I'd like to have all the stuff in standard places in the OS I'm
using. I'm not saying that there's something wrong in having a standard
place for shared data. I'd just like to standardize something else even
before that.
