It's a shared namespace. Distros have enough problems already making
sure that no two packages own the same names for their binaries,
libraries, ... If you now allow multiple unrelated parties to all dump
their own stuff in there, then you can only fail with that.

I think /opt is deeply flawed and not thought to the end, but the one
thing it does get right is that every vendor package gets its own dir
below /opt, thus dealing with the namespacing problems at least a bit.
