Cool! I thought it was no longer maintained. Although it influenced the distro landscape much less than it could, things have changed enough so that I have mostly a "don't care" feeling about gobolinux.
Most end users rarely interact directly with the filesystem, so a different hierarchy won't impact many people. Installing up-to-date packages that do not threaten the stability of your system is easy with flatpaks/snaps; it is even possible to install GNOME Software add-ons to handle them. If you want to install "system-software" that is not possible with snaps or flatpaks, there's always Nix, Guix or homebrew. All that without considering AppImages, of course.
So... gobolinux is a great idea. But it fixes problems that are much smaller today.
