Hmmm...
But we didn't invent /usr. The BSDs have it too and I would be surprised
if any Unix didn't have it. Only GNU (Hurd) doesn't have it because they
had no clue why it existed and ignored all existing systems which have
it already.
IOW, the fact that others have it too is not a reason that you should do
the same, I'd think.
