OFA - Optimal Flexible Architecture - Do you really use it

I was reading Oracle's "Oracle for Unix - Performance Tuning Tips" 
when I ran upon the OFA rules for the first time.  I agree that 
file systems can be designed for ease of administration and growth 
but I'd like to know what the real world thinks.  For instance, 
depositing software ($ORACLE_HOME) in /u03/home/dba/oracle/product
/7.0.13/... seems a bit too much.  Likewise, for initSID*.ora's, they
specify /u03/home/dba/oracle/admin/SID*/pfile as a suggested home
directory.



I could live with their recommendations but some real world examples
or lists of specific advantages would make it easier to swallow.  
Especially since I received this booklet months after our databases 
were built and not a word of OFA was mentioned in the 500 page
installation manual.  ;-)
