with what benefit?
as said: it is and will be useless bomb the OS after a upgrade back
to a filesystem snapshot of /usr since the RPM-DATABASE will NOT
be restored, configurations in /etc will NOT be restored
so can anybody give me one single benefit of /usrmove?
sorry, regardless how often i read any article to this
topic all this benefits are theoretical and will not
work in the real life or not change anything for a user
