Big note:
/usr doesn't mean "user". It means "User Software Resources". I learned this from a good friend whose 70+ years old, and worked with Ritchie. My friend is also cited in K&R C.
/usr/bin and /usr/sbin should have always been the place to put "user software resources". And we're finally getting back to what it was originally.
- fsh 3y ago/usr was the user directory before Thompson and Ritchie bought a new disk and mounted it as /home. The crazy names are really just a historical accident, not some smart acronyms.
