I believe the argument is (and has been for years) that SIPB is not
Athena and Athena is not MIT.  The "traditional" place to mount new
project type filesystems is under /usr so there is /usr/sipb,
/usr/athena etc.  SIPB does not presume that everybody using the SIPB
locker will be using Athena and therefore the sipb locker should not
be mounted under /usr/athena or /mit (wich is an Athena-ism) ...

Speaking as a former SIPB chairman, I have no opinion on the issue :-)
