quoting from http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#THEUSRHIERARCHY
[..]
/usr is the second major section of the filesystem. /usr is shareable,
read-only data. That means that /usr should be shareable between various
FHS-compliant hosts and must not be written to. Any information that is
host-specific or varies with time is stored elsewhere.
