*Sounds* like a stretch, but I don't know that it's untrue. (In any
case, it's a flat-out lie on Linux systems, then... why not /gsr?
;^>)

No matter what, that doesn't match up with how /tmp, /dev, /bin,
/sbin, /var, and /etc are named.

Also, Istr aging commercial Unices lacking a /home in default
partition and suggesting you partition for a /usr/home. But I've got
no reference for that, so...
