Agreed. If only a few packages have issues we don't have to subject our users to a huge overnight change. We can just move gradually with upstream. > Hmm, I'm not really interested in putting symbolic links in /usr/bin > linking to things in /bin or /sbin. I'm not following what that does for > us. Perhaps we could consider compatibility packages, like a bash-links that just installs a symlink to /usr/bin/bash in /bin. Ideally we'd never create them, but if a package can't be fixed in a straightforward way we could add a link package and then have that package depend on it. Then we can get rid of those links over time as nothing depends on them when upstream catches up. Before anything changes at all we need to have a solution in dracut/etc for mounting /usr. Once that is in place packages can move at any pace we wish, so there is no reason to short-cut QA. Rch
