i don't think removal of /lib/ is really feasible.  that's the path that gets 
used for firmware (/lib/firmware/) and kernel modules (/lib/modules/<kver>/) 
regardless of the default ABI on the system.

similarly, userspace packages are using that path for supplemental files like 
the bootloader (grub) or ABI-independent settings (udev rules).
