That’s fine for you and your server, but the question is what this
distribution should do. Devuan is for servers and for desktops. And
people are using distributions like Devuan to not recompile packages with
other options.

And for the record: since the time, /bin, /sbin and /lib are part of the
same disc as /usr (in my case more then 15 years), I never had a need to
recover /usr but still had access to /bin or /sbin.

Shade and sweet water!
