Consider some arbitrary name under /, say "/foo", which doesn't exist
on your system and which is non-standard (not part of the FHS). It may
belong to some Debian packages, but you don't intend to ever install
such packages.

The question is: is such a name free for any use? e.g. create a
directory and use it as a mount point for NFS.

Is it OK that anyone who has a write access in this directory can
become root on the machine?
