/opt is/was a SysV abomination. In a post SysV world, we now have shit scattered across /opt, /usr/local and others.
Not.
Tidy.
I may have a touch of the #OCD.

@mousebot@todon.nl Also drives me nuts when a commercial — usually "security" — product installs into /opt. Most of the systems I deal with have partitioning-schemes prescribed by security frameworks. So, can't have a parititonless root-disk and, because the prescribe root partitioning doesn't include a standalone /opt, it's part of /. So, when one of those commercial applications installs (or, worse logs) into /opt, the system inevitably runs out of space in /.
