@sys mapping is, however, extremely valuable *in combination with*
something like depot, speaking as someone who wrote and maintains such a
system that is used at Stanford for managing our site-wide software tree.
It significantly simplifies the instructions we give people for how to
create the /usr/pubsw symlink to the software tree for their platform, and
it makes things like automating the build and installation process for
software much easier.
