Hierarchy: /usr/local #158

Description

@WhyNotHugo

The Linux File System Hierarchy removes the classic /usr/local/ directory, typically used by the local administrator to install software system-wide.

I understand that this is with the intent of keeping /usr entirely owned by the distribution vendor.

What alternative path should be used when the local administrator wants to manually install software? I.e.: what's the replacement for /usr/local/?
