Thank you for this clarification. Development of SCC started on HP-UX
where both HP and ISV's like Veritas install software in /opt. I
interpreted "add-on" from FHS as "additional" or "non-core" and that
caused my confusion.

As SCC is intended for system administrators, I will rebase SCC to use
/usr/sbin, /etc/scc and /var/lib/scc.
