So do I. So let's come back to the original discussion.

I think someone proposed (as an addition to UsrMove) having the /bin,
/sbin, etc. symlinks deprecated and to remove them in a couple of
releases.  IMHO aside from necessary compatibility (such as the dynamic
loader being in /lib{,64}), there's way too much history involved in
/bin (and to a lesser extend /sbin) to ever consider removing the
symlinks.

More importantly, there's no compelling reason FOR removing them, other
than somebody's idea of neatness.  I have no problem removing compat
symlinks when they are no longer needed; I just don't believe that will
ever be the case for /bin, /lib{,64}, and /sbin.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
