I completely agree with this; in fact, for the OS I am working on, I already did this quite some time ago.....
(with various RPM macro glues and some auto-packaging tricks to cope with apps that still install stuff in the old places)

Have some more details about the "OS you are working on"? I'm dreaming of something I call "legacy free linux" for so long (e.g. getting rid of things like /etc/passwd which are no longer strictly necessary since the advent of thinks like nss and pam).

AFAIK he was working on Meego, so it might be Tizen now. Not sure though ..

I don't work on Tizen
(and MeeGo is basically dead, I'm not working on that anymore either)

"The OS you are working on" definitely needs more publicity!
