Have a look at this link, but there may be better explanations in the interwebs: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/TheCaseForTheUsrMerge/ Essentially the historical reasons for having a lot of separate directories/ fs/partitions/disks are becoming obsolete and many of them are due to merge, changing the baselayout. I assume the move to profile 17.1 to deal with the various /lib directories was the start. -- Regards, Mick
