Why not go in reverse and have /bin and /lib directories again? Why merge into /usr? I feel like the suckless people and fellows like them will be happy.
I think even /usr/share can get its own directory, why not?
- LeoPanthera 4y agoBecause if you merge you can put the entire operating system in /usr, which allows you to mount it read-only, or from an NFS share, or various other options, easily.
