Exactly. The whole point of having /usr/local in hier(7) is storing
ports there. And existing "dividing lines" are pretty arbitral, at best.
Of course, few well-known exceptions like core X itself (anything else?)
don't move anywhere, at least now. Then, X should be modified to accept
things placing app-defaults etc. in /usr/local.
