Interesting. I've always viewed usr EXCEPT for local this way. In
fact, on most of my boxes I create a seperate mount point for /usr/local
so it's easier to backup and maintain, and it doesn't fill up the /usr
directory.

Asking for everything in a directory with the name local in it to be
shared is kind of counter intuitive to me.
