So if a hypothetical author were to write a case for /usr/gnu, what
would the constraints be?
Some questions, off the top of my head:
1. Must /usr/gnu be a subdirectory of /usr, or can it be a separate
filesystem?
2. Should /usr/gnu have a structure that allows old versions of
specific tools to be delivered, along with the best-current (i.e.
most preferred of recent) version?
3. Are the g-prefixed commands in /usr/bin still required, or do we
stop adding new ones?
