True, but /opt is really meant for third-party packages. The Fremantle "let's move random stuff to another partition and place symlinks in the original locations" approach isn't quite what the LSB had in mind.

[off-topic - in my own thread, lol]
By the way, optification isn't worse, that can happen. Recently, I've set-up OpenWRT in my WRT54GL router AP. WRT54G* family have 4MB flash storage (except for some devices from first series, utilizing 8MB), which, after having basic stack installed, leaves You with whopping ~1 MB of free space.
Those also come with just 16MB of RAM which can easily lead to OOM conditions if you run anything above what's on the base image or even if your conntrack tables get too long, but compcache works wonders there too (contrived effort to converge back on topic ;-) )
