The difference is, that NFS and other stuff are operating system
services. Other packages, like samba and inn, are add-on services.
Look at Solaris 2, they did it the same way and I like it.
Only the ease of use of the FreeBSD ports section was a reason
for me, to have again a _huge_ /usr/local/bin directory with
tons of utilities in one place. Otherwise I would have done my
own kind of directory structure, as I described earlier.
When you discussed the locations of samba, I thought it would
be a good occasion to bring in the new idea.
