Agreed.  It is reserved for local system use.

The problem is that often people start out creating something for
local use but then start distributing it.  Arguably as soon as you
start distributing your rpm then you become a vendor.  So might as
well plan for it from the beginning.  But as long as you are only
using it yourself then putting files in /usr/local is fine.
