So I'm still not seeing a great gain from this merger. It seems like |
| 25 |
you think the linker scripts are something bad. Why? And you don't |
| 26 |
seem to like that we move some things around between / and /usr for pkgs |
| 27 |
like coreutils. But other than coreutils, I don't know many pkgs where |
| 28 |
we do that. |

Alternatively, this may introduce problems. So it seems like we're |
| 31 |
fixing something that isn't broken. |
