I think you are right. Although during my day job (Solaris) we use /opt, at home (MDK) I use /usr/local, which had nothing in it apart from top level directories after a fresh install. Most addon packages for Solaris install into /usr/local too. So I really wish we didn't use /opt at work. However sometime a /opt is useful (on both Solaris & MDK) since some packages insist upon it. In this case I find a link between /opt and /usr/local useful. (The real story on Solaris is much more complicated - but I won't bore you with that ;)
