8 Honestly, that seems like a poor draft to me. First of all, I don't see
9 a reason to move /sbin to /usr/bin instead of /usr/sbin.
10
11 Second of all, the benefits are much smaller if we still have to
12 symlink all the dirs. I'd rather keep /bin (and maybe /sbin) on rootfs,
13 and just symlink a few compat tools (like sh). Then we should start
14 looking heavily for unnecessarily hardcoded paths.
15
16 I don't think keeping /lib* is absolutely necessary. That one should be
17 pretty easy to move.
18
19 Of course, the largest problem is migrating existing systems with
20 split / and /usr.
