That's the key point - "on a fairly simple setup". You don't know when it will break - at which point the setup becomes complex enough that some library actually needed lives in /usr instead of /, and you can't boot anymore without going into rescue/emergency mode. The whole point of UsrMerge is to _guarantee_ that booting works on _all_ setups, and to reduce the maintenance burden at the same time. regards, iustin
