Standard according to whom though?

Contrary to many Linux systems, for example, the BSDs tend to install Python
files to /usr/local or /usr/pkg (if using pkgsrc) and not /usr. I'm sure
/opt is also still widely used.

Furthermore, if by standard you mean */share/locale/XX/LC_MESSAGES/, what
good would an egg do at that place?

Reality is an illusion, grimmer. The dreamlands are like masks within
masks, and Time has no dominion beyond the Shroud...
