Yes, sorry, I moved the private part of the question elsewhere.

Perhaps "core" was the wrong choice of word (since it gave the impression that all of it resided there), but what I wanted to convey is that it is part of your OS and you shouldn't tinker with it. Of course, this is pointless now as you have removed it from your question in an edit. As for texbin, it's a convention that they've adopted and stick to (nothing wrong with that). There's also a /usr/local/texlive, where the packages are installed to.

Two questions: (1) why does TeX (as texbin) get put in /usr rather than /usr/local and (2) what does "basically where your OS X core resides" mean (private seems to be mostly about settings)?
