Reminds me of https://github.com/MrMEEE/bumblebee-Old-and-abbandoned/issue... (install script does rm -rf /usr for ubuntu) although I guess deleting /usr/local isn't nearly as bad.

Yeah, but honestly that's FreeBSD's fault for installing system-managed software in a poor location for such.

(speaking as a FreeBSD user myself)
