For what it's worth, FHS 2.0 specifies /usr/src (which means it's clobber-able). It only guarantees safety for things under /usr/local (and says you might want to be nice to Joe User and not clobber their /etc files without asking :-)... And this probably does need to be advertised better (especially since I've been using /usr/src for everything under the sun).
