A problem with that is that /home should be mounted 'nosuid' and ideally 
'noexec'.  (The latter might not be practical for developers, but they 
should still have nosuid flags set.)

/opt, in contrast, will definitely need 'exec'.  It might need 'suid' as 
well, depending on the application.

Both should be 'nodev', of course.
