It's not the money.   It's your time.
If it SAVES TIME,  then do it.   If it TAKES MORE TIME,  don't.

For me,  sharing DASD saves time.   Not always,  but often.
But to do it,  I have to consciously keep things in a mold where
/usr or /opt (or whatever) is static and all players know it's static.

The biggest problem is poorly packaged packages
and package manager programs which are cluless about sharing.
Dave mentioned one or two poorly packaged packages.
Regarding the package managers,  they should have the smarts
to check,  "Oh!  That file is already there,  AND IT'S THE SAME,
so I'll silently ignore the fact that I cannot re-write it.".
