You just reminded me one of the reasons because I do not run any of those. https://www.reddit.com/r/BSD/comments/2szofc/eli5_why_is_separating_binaries_into_bin_sbin/ " ELI5: Why is separating binaries into /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/sbin a good thing? Whenever I ask anyone what the advangages of BSD are, I invariably get the answer that all binaries, configurations etc. all reside inside /usr/local/{bin,etc,share,sbin,man...}. I understand the ideology behind doing this (keeping the base system separate and all) but I don't understand the practical advantages. It is even said that this makes the BSDs somehow advantageous when installing and removing multiple desktop environments. This doesn't make any sense to me. The location of the files installed by a package should not matter because the package manager keeps the location of the installed files in its database. In other words, when I want to uninstall GNOME, my package manager figures out what packages are installed by the GNOME group and removes the files those packages installed. To the package manager, it doesn't matter which directory those files are in because it knows where it put them when it installed the package in the first place. I'm very sorry if I'm wholly misunderstanding this concept and I'm more than happy to be corrected.
