I don't share your interpretation of "add-on". But I don't want to 
continue argueing about FHS and it interpretation.

- From an sysadmin point of view it is realy nice to have MOST of the 
programms and the mayority of diskspace under /usr. I think many 
networks are planed that way. Shure one could just link /opt to 
/usr/opt and everything work, but then lets just start with 
/usr/opt.

I also wouldn't mind /usr/kde /usr/gnome ... if that makes live 
easier for developers and package maintainers.

It think /usr/games is sensless, but /usr/X11R6 is good to be there.

Just my 2 cents

Hendrik
