samba - Mar 2004 - ./configure --prefix=/usr/local

Is there any compelling reason to put all of the samba stuff under
/usr/local/samba, instead of just letting it go into /usr/local?

Ignorance of all things is an evil neither terrible nor excessive, nor yet the
greatest of all; but great cleverness and much learning, if they be accompanied
by a bad training, are a much greater misfortune. - Plato

revision control..  makes it easier to install the new version,
test, and back-out if necessary.   For that matter, you could
run multiple versions at the same time for testing (using different
