Note that (application specific portions of) /usr/share are often
mounted even across different types of Unix (derivates). I know of at
least 4 sites where /usr/share/cups was network-mounted by both Linux
and Solaris clients.
That's the reason why I usually think of /usr/share as architecture
indepedent and non-executable data.
