The difference being that Debian has already split /usr from / and therefore is only paying the marginal cost of maintaining it, whereas Debian has not split /usr/lib from /usr/libexec and would have to pay the (far larger) initial cost of moving everything around. I think it's quite reasonable for that far larger initial cost to require substantial justification, far more justification than is required for preserving a property that Debian has already paid the cost to establish and is just maintaining. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
