What problems are you anticipating, especially in light of the fact that many distros actually do it this way already? I don't really have a problem with making it optional or the default. It can also be left up to the maintainers, and of course somebody could even fork baselayout/etc if they wish and virtualize it in @system. Most things in Gentoo don't actually require a consensus to move forward, especially if they aren't defaults. In any case, what is the point of this thread? If somebody wants to implement a merged /usr what exactly is stopping them from doing so? -- Rich
