Installing base to a single filesystem image is not a hardship and makes many things simpler. Base is not so large that this is as costly as it was in the 1970s. It doesn't have to apply retroactively, of course, but maybe support can be follow the usual deprecation process. Administrators can still keep separate /usr/local, /usr/src, /usr/obj, /var/log, etc, as Andriy suggests. None of these impact the functioning of the early base system nearly so badly as /usr/*bin, /usr/share, and /usr/lib. The other option is just putting all the base libraries and binaries in /lib and /*bin (unfortunately, I don't think /share exists). The current sorting of items into /usr or not /usr is haphazard. Best, Conrad
