Not even remotely considering it, but that's completely unrelated -
there's already many consolidations delivering files to /usr/bin & /usr/lib,
ON is in the minority there - some are already from X (the existing symlinks
noted, the files for freetype & fontconfig).

Merging consolidations? By the people who would be doing the work and
responsible for maintaining it. The criteria here would be "Does it
make sense?" and the answer is clearly no - the cost would be too high,
the benefit non-existent.
