Directories like /bin, /sbin, /lib* will soon/eventually migrate to /usr and merge with their synonyms there. This has already taken place on systemd and a migration is on the cards for openrc. The baselayout package will change among others and I expect some migration script would be provided. Otherwise it would be a manual job of shifting directories around. Leaving the split- usr flag set is what should be used with the stable packages at the moment and it won't cause any problems.
