Hi.

I'm just forwarding this posting again, because subsequent discussions don't
seem to have taken note of it.

*I don't see any proposal to merge /{s}bin with /usr/local/{s}bin*

I don't believe there is any proposal to merge /usr/local/bin with /bin, or
/usr/local/sbin with /sbin

The proposal https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Unify_bin_and_sbin appears
to be to merge /usr/bin with /usr/sbin, and separately to merge /usr/local/bin
with /usr/local/sbin

I'm not saying I like it, but I agree with you that /usr/local/bin must remain
separate from /bin, and that at least is not being threatened.


Antony.
