That actually seems like some low hanging fruit to go on a commit spree correcting code that hard codes paths

GoboLinux is old enough to vote in most countries.

So either those low hanging fruits are higher than they seem, or we're all just a bunch of dwarves.

My bet is on the second option.

It is low hanging fruit as far as the software is concerned. Simply parameterize all paths.

Will upstream accept such patches though? Sounds unlikely to me.
