UsrMove is not done until SbinMerge is done
08-08, 15:00–15:25 (US/Eastern), Rocky (Breakout 2)

In 2012, we moved the installed OS under /usr, merging /bin into /usr/bin and /sbin into /usr/sbin, implementing UsrMove. But the split between /usr/sbin and /usr/bin remained. In 2024, we made the decision to merge /usr/sbin into /usr/bin, finally getting rid of the legacy subdivision of directories.

In this talk, I'll discuss why we want to do this, how it's being implemented, and how it is going.
