I honestly think we have _much bigger_ things to try and fix before we
worry about the layout of binaries in the directory hierarchy.

Once we've sorted out things like virtualisation hooks for the
installer and management, better package management and upgrade paths,
module/kernel build sync, cross-compiled ports, non-root installation
methods, etc, etc.. I think then we could look at this kind of thing.

2c,
