A straw poll was taken about the filesystem location of SCLs. A few FPC
members were willing to use /opt but others were heavily opposed to it.
Everyone was okay with using /usr/scl (or the plural form /usr/scls). So
I think that needs to become the scl root dir (is that the right term?) for
Fedora.

Ngggh. If the point is to have a stack that lives outside of the OS... then
it should *live outside of the OS*, not be grafted into a subpoint of the
OS. (IOW, I disagree.)
I suppose the counter example to the argument that because the directory is
under /usr it is grafted onto the OS would be /usr/local. But I don't
know that any of the FPC members were looking at it in this light.

I thought in this discussion was already mentioned: distribution musn't
touch anything in /usr/local.
We need the installation inside the /opt directory because some users
are using it exactly as Bill mentioned.
