True. But I use this solution because:
 - root controls what goes in /usr/local
 - I mount /home without wxallowed
 - I mount /usr/local read-only

Also, I expect that in the future, less and less packages that I use
require /usr/local to be mounted with wxallowed. I agree, this last
point is not improving my security at all.
