Isn't /usr/src only for the source that came with the distribution, and
/usr/local the place to do compiles for all added and updated programs?

I agree here.  I don't do it this way.  I have each user that admins a
particular src set have them put it in a sys/src dir in their own directories,
with readable access so that others can snag the code and recompile if
necessary.  This may be messy for our implementation, though.  Usually I am
the only real admin on my boxes ;)

We may need 1GB here for /usr/local/src, if we go that route.  But then again,
if we go that route /usr/local/src should probably be a seperate partition
instead of /usr/src.  Hmmm...

This is much closer to how I would set up the linux partitions, it looks much
more standard and more sensible.  I usually don't break up the usr dirs, but
doing so would be good if we are storing sources in the usr tree.
