Nothing wrong with that. It's why open source is so nice. I have the choice to find vendors and projects that share more of my values than others may. If FHS compliance is really important to you, you'll like the Red Hat mailman packages.
The problem is that most of the people who get referred to the "not our job, mon" FAQs chose Red Hat or Apple not for FHS compliance, but for turnkey installation convenience and system integration. If that fails, it's the vendor's responsibility, and the vendor is in the best position to answer questions.
I think it's important to insist on that point.
