Did you *ever* even *attempt* to read the FHS? It took me less time
for me to find this than it did for you to whine about not having a
specific cite.
Section 4. First Paragraph:
4 The /usr Hierarchy
/usr is the second major section of the filesystem. /usr is shareable,
read-only data. That means that /usr should be shareable between
various hosts running FHS-compliant and should not be written to. Any
information that is host-specific or varies with time is stored
elsewhere.
