Some has made it in... and that introduced a new issue... If you have
a system w/ split root and /usr, then you won't be able to use all
the utilities in / because of this:
# ldd `which df`
/bin/df:
libxo.so.0 => /usr/lib/libxo.so.0 (0x800820000)
libutil.so.9 => /lib/libutil.so.9 (0x800a2f000)
libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x800c41000)
Notice how df now depends upon a library in /usr which is a big no-no...
libxo needs to be moved to /lib or we need to rip out the support from
all utilities that live in /...
Adrian pointed this out already, but hasn't gotten any traction...
