Quite so.  Actually /export if for things you are going to share out,
which is why home directories are traditionally in /export/home, which
kind of assumes you are going to use NIS/NFS/autofs to have central home
directories across multiple machines.

OK, how about "most UNIX flavors other than Solaris and most Linux
distros"?

Slackware has lots of interesting idiosyncrasies :)  

All the best,
