Thanks for the history :)

I always thought it strange to put site- in /usr/local since
/usr/local already implies site/system-wide packages. Same for dist-
since /usr already implies distribution packages. I find it weird that
site- gets used in ~/ since they are clearly user packages not
site/system-wide packages.

Any thoughts on that?
