Gentoo is mostly and intentionally LSB compliant, but the LSB has some
ridiculous notions about the /usr hierarchy that interfere with the
ability to include multiple versions of major systems like KDE and
GNOME. Instead of throwing these i /usr/bin, they use something like
/usr/kde/<rel>/bin so that KDE releases don't conflict with one
another.

Most distros live quite happily with the /usr restrictions, because
they don't care about multiple KDE/GNOME releases.
