For an existing Rawhide system, will regular updates migrate it to a

Will an in-place upgrade of 41 to 42 merge bin and sbin?
Not exactly. Zbigniew decided that 'migrating' existing systems would
be too risky, so instead, they still have a separate /usr/sbin , but
everything in it should now be a symlink pointing to /usr/bin.
I have reservations about this design as it means pre-F42 upgraded
systems will differ significantly from F42+ fresh installs forever, but
we'll see how it works out.
I'd be interested in manually converting my desktop machine when the time comes, because reinstalling is way too involved given all the customizations I've done.
Is it as simple as renaming /usr/sbin to /usr/sbin.old and soft-linking /usr/bin to /usr/sbin? If so, it would be easy to try it out and easy to reverse if needed.
