- This was also news to me. I took this from BSD-Net2's README.

- I think that this should be mainly a concern of how a specific
- distribution organizes the binaries in /usr. For the purposes of this
- discussion we should at most identify "generic" versions, and put those
- into either /usr/bin or /usr/ucb. "Generic" in this context means
- "POSIXish" or "GNUish" or "BSDish" or "SysVish", preferrably in that
- order. :-)
-
- "Generic" should also mean that /usr/local remains empty. It should be
- up to a distribution to decite where to dump stuff not identified as
- "generic".
