My current Linux system has a 15GB root partition, which has 6GB files. Turns out that that about 5.5GB are in the /opt directory. My /usr partition is 206GB, of which about 33GB are used.
This led me to wonder why is it not recommended in the FSSTND[1] to deprecate /opt[2] and install its contents as /usr/opt (possibly with soft link from /opt to /usr/opt).
