The beef with the comment on /home being nonessential is besides the
point, /usr, /var, or /opt could have been some special case FUSE
filesystem, making it still impossible to predict which files _should_
be in /. The more relevant matter here is that plan FHS, in
combination with FUSE, makes that difficult.
