Perhaps a misunderstanding or wrong remembrance. I guess each software
should get it's own directory, similar to /opt/software_foo.
AFAIK there are two projects working at a new
file
system hierarchy to make it easier to install software, what ever this
means.
Which projects do you mean?
For a while I fooled around with Gobo Linux[1], around for
about a decade, whose developer makes a good technical case
for a modified file system hierarchy[2, 3]. It hasn't
collected a huge mindshare.
