I would agree except I reserve /usr/local for stuff I compile and /opt
for stuff I don't have access to the source code for. That really should
be where netscrape belongs.

RPM is great for keeping up with binaries that are well form and well
built. Any "flakeyness" and I'm going to poke at the src.rpm. If the
spec file is beyond my tinkertime limits, tar.gz get compiled.
