Not much, admittedly, but it makes sense to me not to have a place in my
$PATH unless I'm going to use it.

On the other hand, if we were to install X11 in /usr/local and blow
/usr/X11{,R6} out of the equation entirely, I'd find the "everything
goes into /usr/local" approach to make much more sense.

Different tastes.  Makes the world go 'round, and all that.

Thanks to all who explained for the explanations, and thanks to all
who have patiently deleted my messages for doing so without flambasting
me.
