Hi Jon,
Respectfully I decline this patch. And with good reason.
Our standards are good, and they provide a consistent look and feel to package layouts. But occasionally we need to look beyond our own little world and see the bigger picture.
The directory layouts of puppet were discussed sometime ago, on irc, with fellow CSW maintainers. I chose to distort our standards to fit in with the bigger picture - and go with Puppet's standards for configuration layouts. The majority of large users of puppet are cross platform - in essence, the point of puppet, and standards across all platforms in preferable. To this end I work with their standards and not ours. There is a README in /etc/puppet discussing this, and pointing out how a Solaris/CSW only camp can configure it to go with CSW standards.
Feel free to ping me on irc as 'phips' or mail my opencsw address if you want to discuss further.
