FWIW, BeOS R5 doesn't have /boot/home/config/share.
It's added by some 3'rd party apps.
BTW, what's the reason for this semantical overlap?:
/share and
/usr ("unix shared resources" IIRC)
I fear that if we start supporting all of the unix root folders
our system will end up as cluttered as Linux. On the other
hand, as the root is not visible from Tracker or from
apps using the blessed Open/Save filepanels it's not
necessarily a big problem. Ported apps that use some
filepanel of their own would not hide a messy root though,
and I think it's a good idea to avoid such a situation.
