how is this less work than fixing or removing
broken packages?  that problem needs to be
dealt with one way or the other.

also this method is unwieldy with a many user
system.  even on a single user system, doesn't it
suck when you can find a few programs that
are in your own bin?

would you extend this to groups of users?
(please say no!)

been there.  (late 80s.  mt xinu bsd.)  done that.
burned the tee shirt.
