FWIW, I think this has become moderately common usage because of the Handbook entry on CVSup, which recommends *default prefix=/usr If you don't change that then you get /usr/{src,doc,ports,...} > I use /usr/opt/doc myself. (Same for www.) If people agree that all > non-src sources should go to /usr/opt, I'm not against moving ports > there too. /usr/opt? Ugh. OK, that's not the most coherent of criticisms, but I don't particularly like it. Apart from anything else, I don't think we should be hardcoding paths in these trees at all. The DOC_PREFIX kludge is only there until the doc/ repository is reorganised to put all the documentation at the same level in the file system relative to one another. When that's done it can be removed.
