That’s fine for you and your server, but the question is what this distribution should do. Devuan is for servers and for desktops. And people are using distributions like Devuan to not recompile packages with other options.

And for the record: since the time, /bin, /sbin and /lib are part of the same disc as /usr (in my case more then 15 years), I never had a need to recover /usr but still had access to /bin or /sbin.

Shade and sweet water!
