It is worth it to me.  It's the only way I know to upgrade to a new 
package that is currently in use with minimal interference.  If I build 
Xorg in /opt/x11r7.6 and create the symlinks needed, I only have to exit 
to the command line, change a couple of links, and restart.  Reverting 
is just as easy.  If I mess up /usr, it is a real pain.
