Luckily my dev environment is enough stable along the time, it is not so worst. I'm looking however ahead to avoid worst symptoms at the moment of sysupgrade. I'm on a stick and my average status during late night upgrades is already in tension with one hand on to the phone for the emergency service, that's it. The stick is not that big so believing to simplify the disk layout at my few logged setups I always cut on /usr/local, that said the stick size is always limited, you can put on one or two mounting points but the space constraint is still there. True, I lay part of my data on a external disk but then what you suggest to move there from /usr ? Probably nothing, I'm guessing.. The point is exactly that like many I do not want to to start all over and the hope is always to find some bugs for the devs.... that allow me to erase stuff on /usr and gain those percentage points that give me more heart confidence. -- Daniele Bonini
