AFAIK it has been discussed for Fedora/RH, but I think they're doing |
| 11 |
the / /usr merge first and /usr/bin /usr/sbin (which would then take care |
| 12 |
of the already merged /bin /sbin) later. I believe they've mostly |
| 13 |
decided already, but timing, etc, will depend on how the first phase, |
| 14 |
the / /usr merger, goes, and of course if that turns out to go worse than |
| 15 |
expected, the second phase could still be called off. But don't bet on |
| 16 |
it as certainly, people will have already been running their systems that |
| 17 |
way in ordered to seriously advocate it, so it's likely to mostly just |
| 18 |
take a couple release cycles to work thru their system and get the corner- |
| 19 |
case kinks worked out. |
