Boo! Hiss!

And when you upgrade /usr/bin gets clobbered by the new  
operating system.  I reserve /usr/bin for what comes from  
the vendor.  Helps me keep track of who to Froth at when  
things break... <wry grin>

However /usr/local/bin is great for this purpose.  For me  
this is almost always a link pointing to a directory on an  
NFS mounted disk.  Keeping all the stuff I've accumulated  
on one disk helps.  (This same disk has the /LocalApps  
/LocalLibrary /Demos etc)  This means I can back up all the  
local stuff I've got working by backing up a single disk.
