For all people that think this is still a issue: it is not:

* Arch Linux: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_filesystem_hierarc...

* Fedora: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/UsrMove

* Debian: https://wiki.debian.org/UsrMerge

* Ubuntu: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FoundationsTeam/Specs/Quantal/UsrMer...

And this is true for quite a long time. I think the last distro that did /usr merge is Debian and this is already 3 years ago. So I find surprising that people still thinks that this is a issue.

The only thing that remains is the difference between bin and sbin that Fedora/Ubuntu/Debian still maintain (Arch Linux simply merged everything).

P.S.: of course, there should be still distros that use a split /bin /usr/bin, /lib and /usr/lib, etc. OpenWRT is one of them. However I think the major distros already migrated.
