/usr is what *we* control, /usr/local is what *they* control. So why not
something under /usr instead of a whole new top-level hierarchy? I mean,
personally, I prefer /ftp to /home/ftp (dumb place for /ftp, if you ask me)
and /www as opposed to, what is it, /var/htdocs. I also *really* like /misc
for all those miscellaneous things which are to big, long-standing or private
to shoe-horn into /tmp.
However, none of those will see the light of day outside my system.
So why /opt and not /usr/opt with the possibility of /usr/local/opt?
