Personally, I'd love to see /usr/X11R6 folded into /usr/local, but until then, I think it's nothing short of retarded for apps to install into unusual locations to prove a point.


It might be interesting looking at the work the pkgsrc people have done
wrt $PREFIX enforcement. On my NetBSD boxen xorg lives under /usr/pkg/xorg and all packages are installed under /usr/pkg, not /usr/X11R6 or /usr/local.

There are many good potential layouts, such as the one you mentioned. But the issue in my mind is how one would go about implementing it without wreaking havoc on the poor, unsuspecting users.
