Why is /export under BE1?

I'm assuming that BE=boot environment.

There are a couple of things here. First is that I would expect
user data (isn't that what /export is?) to be independent of a
BE; second is that the namespace for user data should be
separate from that for the OS so as to make it easier to
apply separate policies.
