[Simplygnustep-discuss] Here's a strange one

[<ceh...@ma...>]

I was just wondering...

why the heck do we have any need for the /usr directory at all?  
Prometheus is designed to be easy to use, and that means no complicated 
partitioning.  The primary reason we have a /usr at all is because 
traditionally unix setups have heavily partitioned disks/mountings.  
But Prometheus avoids that.

So, why not just have all the directories in / ?  that would mean 
/share and /man would be in / too, obviously.  Beside being "odd", why 
not do this?


Is there any technical reason we can not do this?  I think that it 
would be easier for the user to grasp the system if it was done this 
way.

Input?
