I believe the formal nature of things would be three hierarchies

/ level -> needed for starting the system, the real critical stuff. And probably holdovers from old unix days.

/usr level -> stuff that came with the OS but non-essential to starting the system, i.e. /bin/shd versus /usr/bin/vi

/usr/local level -> the local systems crap including /usr/local/bin/emacs.
