The vendors and the Open Group presumably have what they consider sufficient reason to do this. However, remember that "sufficient reason" often includes things like intra-organizational turf wars and repository permissions. If the clients complain loudly, the internal voices of sanity may be heard, too. We may be able to prevent insanity on the part of minor vendors. (As a _single_ beta tester I got the /usr/ml---multilingual---hierarchy removed from the new TurboLinux-JP distribution. The /usr/jp hierarchy stayed, unfortunately ... due to a turf issue.) And we should prevent pollution of systems without CDE. I recently got the "no bold italic version of fixed" error, and it recommends setting a resource to something in /usr/dt/.../fonts, which I don't have.
