I think that's a very 1980s, or early-1990s, way of looking at it. Since the normal way to boot a PC now is a complete functioning OS on a single removable-media volume - be that an optical disk or USB flash media - most of the rationale for splitting up the bits of the /usr tree have long ceased to apply. The smallest hard disks available today (~500GB) are roughly 2 orders of magnitude bigger than is needed for a full Linux desktop install (~5GB). It is not possible to buy a new computer without a graphical display. There is no need for separating out admin binaries, user binaries, local binaries, graphical binaries etc. any more, and hasn't been for about 2 decades. I think it's a brilliant, if brave, idea of Fedora to get rid of a historical distinction that is now pointless, but it's planned and discussed and decided, as far as I know: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/UsrMove http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/TheCaseForTheUsrMerge/ -- Liam Proven * Profile: http://lproven.livejournal.com/profile Email: lproven@xxxxxxxxx * GMail/G+/Twitter/Flickr/Facebook: lproven MSN: lproven@xxxxxxxxxxx * Skype/AIM/Yahoo/LinkedIn: liamproven Tel: +44 20-8685-0498 * Cell: +44 7939-087884 -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
