While it's a bit heavy-handed to write it into the spec, it is a grand
attempt to put Mother's First Law (thou shalt not mix your stuff with
vendor stuff) into the general consciousness. If it becomes customary,
we can get people to keep code and data separate (I find the usual /var
or /home practice for www server data really annoying because the usage
patterns of www data are much different than classic home directories or
spool data, which makes a number of decisions on filesystem options
difficult).

On intellish hardware, I've been putting my privates into */local for
some years.
