I'll take the bait ... can you tell me what "love" is in the future?

The comment was not intended to be "bait". :-)

Thanks for the link, I was unaware of this change for F17.

Yes indeed. When I read what was going to be done, my first thought
was, "Dear Ghod in Heaven, *why?*" By the time I reached the bottom of
the page it all made sense. One question, though: will there be a way
to recover the disk space used by the now-redundant directories? I know
that with modern disks the amount lost is probably trivial, but I go
back to the days when a 40MB drive was *huge,* and I still don't like
wasting space for no good reason. Besides, it's untidy.

Just 4 symlinks are left?

which disk space?
where does a symlink consume noticeable space?

It wasn't clear to me if everything in the old directories was deleted
or not before being replaced with the symlinks. After all, one way to
do it would be to move /bin to /oldbin before creating the link, in case
something doesn't get copied over correctly. If so, either the copy
needs to be removed at the end of the process or there should be a
script to do the cleanup if/when you decide that the backup isn't needed
any longer.

As I wrote in another message, I was under the impression that the
original directories would be kept somewhere as a backup. Just assuming
that all will always go well and nuking the old directories doesn't seem
to be properly prudent.

you know the difference between MOVE and COPY?
/usrmove != /usrcopy

sorry, even if i see no single sense in this adventure but
believing the will somehting be copied and after that maintained
with the package managment is a little naive even if obe
does not know the meaning of the word "move"

Of course I do. However, I've learned better than to assume that things
like this are named the way you think they are. Just because it's
called usrmove doesn't mean that it couldn't have been implemented as a
copy, although for the life of me, I can't see why. But then, I've seen
large numbers of decisions made recently that make no sense to me.

Is there a reason that you feel compelled to add gratuitous insults to
as many of your posts as possible? If so, you might spend a moment
contemplating the fact that I waste neither time nor bandwith nitpicking
your spelling, because English is clearly not your first language.
