I prefer the simpler filesystem proposal from http://sta.li/filesystem

The FHS has been poorly done for years. For e.g. where is the canonical place for a Web vhost root? /srv/www? /srv/web? /var/www?

As for software, personally, I'm fond of GoboLinux approach: http://www.gobolinux.org/index.php?page=at_a_glance

Minor details (ahem capitalized directory names ahem) aside, having a designated place for each distinct software release (/Programs/Bash/3.0/bin/) in my personal opinion looks more practical than having a separate database of package-installed files.

Unfortunately, the projects seems to be dead or nearly dead.
