Well, people moved off split-usr quite successfully, which is a bigger feat than cleaning up the /boot/efi/ mess I'd say. Fedora is currently merging /usr/bin/ and /usr/sbin/, which I am pretty sure is a bigger change too. Noone here has any illusions, this is not going to be fixed from today to tomorrow, just like the usr-merge wasn't done in a day or the sbin-merge doesn't happen in a single day either. But I am very sure we shouldn't let the Linux platform stagnate like this. I think it really should be time to clean up /boot/efi/, we don't want that people get bored after the sbin-merge is complete, after all! Lennart -- Lennart Poettering, Berlin
