And I, for one, don't really care. The last time I configured something dependent on the usr split was about a decade ago, and even then it was a kludge, for a problem solvable with a couple of minutes of extra work. The only thing {/bin,/sbin,/lib} are good for ATM is being and information source, to see what's the really important s..t without using extra tools. OTOH UsrMerge breaks some habits, i.e. going to /share/doc/foo feels weird. Which is a human issue, already spreading in the crowd of anti-systemd lunatics.
