OpenSUSE 10.3 Alpha1 has been released. "Since the openSUSE 10.2 final release, the most significant changes are: GNOME has been moved to /usr (lease do test especially updates from older distributions); KDE updated to KDE 3.5.6; Linux kernel updated to 2.6.20 (no Xen support enabled for now); pattern for minimal text install; update of OpenOffice.org to version 2.1.3; the whole distribution is build now with -fstack-protector to better guard against some buffer overflows; and much more."

RedHat/Fedora based distros, too.
BTW, I thought FHS was part of LSB now?
At any rate, I'm glad to hear about it. Some distros putting things in /opt while others put them in /usr is exactly the sort of silly, purposeless, incompatibility that is bad for Linux, and with no upside.
Though to be honest, I must admit that I did not know that Suse had been doing this.
