I'd be second to ask that :-) I'm very interested in your work.

Can you elaborate a little bit on that?
I myself believe that packages (e.g. GNUstep, kde) should be installed into
/opt,
X11R6 does not belong to /usr (it probably belongs to root for the most
systems, but then some other stuff like perl should be moved to root),
and tired to see the mess in /etc.

But it looks like you see more fundamental problems.
