What about
* the FHS?
Standards can be updated.
* "#! /bin/sh" in thousands of existing scripts?
Indeed, I forgot about it. Backward compatibility is important.
In any case
#!/usr/bin/env sh
seems to be more portable solution.
If anything, wouldn't it make more sense to move stuff in the opposite
direction, from /usr/bin to /bin ? "usr" doesn't really mean anything
- originally it was used because the filesystem format couldn't
support more than 64MB(?) in a single volume, so the system had to be
split to / and /usr.
Also, Fedora already sort-of has a system for stateless OS images -
see /etc/sysconfig/readonly-root. What will happen to it?
And more importantly, what is the overall benefit to our users? I
can't find anything compelling in the "Benefit to Fedora" section (if
/usr/ can be snapshotted, why not / ?); AFAICT this requires changing
257 packages for mostly aesthetic reasons.
