Actually, I was under the impression that TL installed somewhere else
(I think it used to be /usr/texlive or /usr/TeX even) and I did not
check the latest installs. And I am a case-sensitive guy.
But rest assured, I will migrate my i-Packages to something else,
probably /usr/local/gwTeX. However, this is not simple, as I need to
consider not only new installs, but also updates and uninstalls.
If you move /usr/local/TeXLive to /usr/local/gwTeX and you install
TeX Live full in /usr/local/texlive, one important thing to also do
is to set your Install location of the TeX i-Package that is based on
teX Live to the new gwTeX location. Otherwise, uninstall of the i-
Package will potentially uninstall TeX Live.

BTW, appropriating could also have been seen as honouring the actual
source (as I did with /usr/local/teTeX)
