Let's do the next best thing and consult Brian Kernighan and Rob
Pike's venerable "The Unix Programming Environment", published in
in the Elder Days (1984). On page 22 they write:
On many systems, /usr is a directory that contains the
directories of all the normal users of the system.
Then on page 64, in a table entitled "Interesting Directories", they
say that /usr is the "user file system" and show both system
directories (/usr/include, /usr/bin, etc.) and user login directories
(/usr/you) underneath it.
