It's not just you - there are "tutorials" and mailing list posts all
over the net that impart the same advice. So I'm not surprised that
you recommended it, you probably picked it up as a byproduct of
someone else's flawed recommendation long ago :)
As a Linux person - think of the absolute *last* possible root only
place that you could ever stick a PHP library into, with the most risk
to security possible. That is the equivalent of C:\Windows\System.
Cheers,
Rich
