Fantastic! Then why is this an issue?

  They want /usr/local to be owned by you.

    That kind of blows my mind... why not use homedirs instead of abusing global paths!?
    - s73v3r 11y ago
      If it's in a home directory, then the stuff installed is really only usable by that person. I can see some instances where that would be desirable, but I would prefer that the stuff I install is usable by the whole system, even though I'm the only one on the machine.
