Why not call it /local instead of /usr?

Along p_ing's lines I'd rename /var to something else, possibly not /srv because it's not just for servers, but it could be /data

/srv is for services. Which is weird because so is /var. The choice between /var/lib/postgresql and /srv/postgresql is arbitrary to me. Except in /var you can also have things like /var/cache, /var/tmp, and so on.
