Wasn't that discussion about merging /bin and /usr/bin? Or did we also have the discussion about /bin and /sbin? This is exactly the sort of global change that Debian kind of sucks at, but I don't like using that as an excuse to not do it. I'd rather find ways to get better at it. > Changing only the PATH is also less intrusive compared to merging > /{s,}bin and /usr/{s,}bin. Sure, certainly true. But, assuming that we have a consensus that the distinction no longer matters and just causes extra work (something that I'm inclined to agree with but that I don't think we can assume we've decided on yet), I hate to see us doing the expedient thing because doing the right thing is too hard. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
