It should contain everything that is not part of the system, and valid or 
thought
for more than one user.
For example, third party applications could be installed in common. Also,
distributions that want to override Haiku's default settings would place their 
files
in there.
In future versions, 3rd party drivers will need to be installed there; the 
kernel
will not allow user drivers anymore.

Bye,
