Yes, but mtab has an exception, cmtab not.

|The following files, or symbolic links to files, must be in /etc if the

|mtab        Dynamic information about filesystems (optional)
|…
|mtab does not fit the static nature of /etc: it is excepted for historical

Until there's a similar sentens saying the same about cmtab, the existens
of cmtab is a violation of the FHS. That's a fact that you can't negate.
It is a violation of the FHS!

Bye, Jörg.
