Okay. But even if I read it your way, i.e. each line by itself, not caring=

about the context of the parent directory, your change still violates=20
hier(7):

               X11R6/    X11R6 distribution executables, libraries, etc
                          (optional).
                          bin/      X11R6 binaries (servers, utilities, loc=

                                    packages/ports)

*sigh* Sorry about that, I let myself get worked up. But please see above.

I still fail to see ambiguity in hier(7) about the issue general, but at le=
ast=20
I'm very sure there's just no way to interpret it in a way that justifies=20
