You have a valid point.
However, I've found via slamming a few brick walls, that there were
some legacy libraries (PPC) that were apparently transferred from my
PPC machine when I initially setup this MacBook Pro (intel). Hence,
my logic is to clear as much clutter as I can; keeping the vestigial
files down to a minimum.
Sometimes I just create a symbolic pointer within a PATH locale to my
desired target.

That shouldnt' matter so long as your path is consistent. I'm sure
I have plenty of duplicates - part of the point is to be able to
manage software in the /opt tree without mucking up or altering
things that are already there in /usr/local or wherever else they
might be. If you're getting some other IRB, then /opt isn't at
the beginning of your PATH.
