If "other filesystems" is not qualified (and it is not), normal
English rules would have it mean "all other filesystems" which I take
to mean "all other filesystems on the system". Can you justify a
better interpretation?
IF the system's /home directory is formatted as an OpenBSD partition,
then yes, FHS demands that tools for mounting and recovering it be in
/.
