For example, there was a long thread recently in fedora-devel-list on
whether distributions could impose any structure at all on the contents

now, I don't think you'll see RPMs (from Fedora, anyway) making any use
of it.
BitTorrent already does.
MySQL should.
The MySQL database by default SHOULD be /srv/mysql - and on all my
installs, it gets changed to that.
I personally leave the default for httpd alone - but any and all virtual
hosts are defined in their own .conf file and point to
/srv/domain.tld/www for their document root.
But yes - some packages do, and others (like databases) should make use
of /srv
In my opinion anyway.
Of course, opinions are like ego's - everybody has got one.
