I find it sensible that the default of no_del_path includes /srv. If the
local admin decides to violate FHS by putting a user's home dir there,
they can also change no_del_path. We have user's home directores in /var
as well for a bunch of system users and we still have /var in
no_del_path's default.

Greetings
Marc

I just looked more carefully at the FHS, and it is clear you are
correct.  cf 3.17.1: "Distributions must take care not to remove
locally placed files in these directories without administrator
permission."  Tagging this wontfix.
