I am curious about the used of /usr/freeware.
Why are they not using /opt/freeware

They rational is about how the system administrator is doing update.
What we want to be able to do is, 
- delete the /usr partition
- allow people within a restricive group, but with less privilege
  than admin, to install add-on in /opt.
  Those are usually third party software.
