Well he claims that bin owned everything back in the day and I didn't  
touch a *nix system until long after the time he describes. I can't  
imagine the benefit or functionality of a system with bin owning  
everything.... if everything precious is owned by bin, and bin isn't a  
standard system user, someone would have to elevate to root to do anything  
nasty. In the current setup you'd have to elevate to root to do something  
nasty.

I see no benefit in binaries or libraries being owned by bin.
