Opinion, predating that era: I believe that the driver for /home was
automounter, because of the complexity of referencing local and remote
/export/foo/whatever/username paths consistently across a large NFS-enabled
university deployment with many different platforms and individual systems.

Hi,
The earliest I've found to be in the FHS from '94. Are there any earlier
examples of a home directory being at /home instead of /usr/$(user)? Are
there any current Unix systems that don't use /home by default (except
OSX)? Does anybody here do it intentionally? Also, what was the
rationale of moving the directory to /home?
Thanks!
