I know this change has been running for some time now, but out of curiousity
i'd like to know why it's been descided to put phpmyadmin/apache stuff in a
new root folder called /srv/ instead of /home/*
Isn't this a very personal setup compared to having this in the already
existing /home/ folder? And not to forget that the change created a great
deal of extra work for users who has been using /home/..

/srv/ must have some hidden important stability boosts?? And please don't
get me wrong, i don't really care,
since i have most of these folders mounted the way i want them, im still
going to rebuild these packages and more using abs.

Im just curious...
