/usr/local is owner by root:staff, it's most of the time included in
PATH, so if something nasty landed there, you probably have bigger
issues anyway. Most of your system might be looking there too. And
it's just a way to allow the sysadmin to override things, w/o needing
to mess with the installed files.

Thanks,
