According to FOLDOC [1], the "user" explanation is the correct
one. Seems sane to me, as the "unix system resourses" (such as
/kernel, /dev, /bin, /etc) lives outside /usr ...

Might the case be that "Unix System Resources" is an
afterconstruction? Or is it just so unknown that even FOLDOC has it
wrong?
