So you're proposing that all package maintainers with programs or libraries in / will need to update their packages to carry the compat symlinks and you're proposing that replacing the / directories with symlinks has to be a special case outside of packaging itself? I'm sorry, for the question, it's just that neither of these were clear from reading the feature page. Perhaps if you add your middle two bullets from above to the Roadmap section it will be more clear. Also, your list of 257 packages is incomplete. For instance, you're missing bash. Linking the script that you use to generate the list to the Feature page would also be helpful. Thanks, Toshio
