CentOS: Why So Many Redundant Folders?

After a CentOS 7 Minimal install, and a yum update, I analyzed the folders.




  • / and /usr/ and /usr/local/ all have:



    bin etc lib lib64 sbin



  • / and /usr/ both also have:



    tmp



  • /usr/ and /usr/local both also have:



    games include libexec share src



  • I've seen many other folders that also have in common:



    games lib var


With all that noted, does CentOS have a good reason for having these same folder names in different locations, rather than putting all content of a similar/same kind in 1, or less than the current quantity, of locations?
