For an existing Rawhide system, will regular updates migrate it to a merged bin-sbin? I am asking because it looks to me like it happened already but my system still has a /usr/sbin directory.
Will an in-place upgrade of 41 to 42 merge bin and sbin?
Not exactly. Zbigniew decided that 'migrating' existing systems would be too risky, so instead, they still have a separate /usr/sbin , but everything in it should now be a symlink pointing to /usr/bin.
I have reservations about this design as it means pre-F42 upgraded systems will differ significantly from F42+ fresh installs forever, but we'll see how it works out.
OK small problem then, I still have a *lot* of stuff in /usr/sbin that is not yet a link. Is that expected and will change with more updates, or has something gone wrong?
