If you design your product for JUST the BSD world, that's fine.
There is more to the world than BSD. For Solaris, the Unix that I use,
/usr/local is NOT best practice.
Now BSD and System V have, over the years, exchanged genetic material in
ways that would make a stock breeder blush. I think it would be hard to
find a system that was PURE BSD or PURE System V.
I think it is clearly better to put applications in a directory tree by
themselves, one that is NOT part of the O/S.
YMMV
