So what do you mean: That FreeBSD is rarely used as an
NFS server for other FreeBSD machines, or that /usr/local
is rarely used for sharing common binaries, libraries, includes, etc.
among several FreeBSD machines via NFS ?

Or, to put it another way, which directory should be used for
NFS exporting, if not /usr/local? Maybe /opt? :-)
