And where exactly is the harm in that? Apple certainly don't see a
problem with it, with the likes of /Applications and /Users living
happily alongside /bin and /var. Actually it makes for a much more
integrated Cygwin user experience not to have to mentally switch
between different roots and add those \cygwin and /cygdrive (or
whatever) prefixes when accessing stuff from the other side of the
fence.
