Some rules (a very few, but perhaps more in time) want the PCI and USB ID databases, as well. Of course this should be fixed by eliminating /usr and annoying everyone who has to reinstall their entire systems, rather than by, I dunno, introducing /share, moving the ID databases there, and leaving a symlink where they came from.

As you know, "do things the hugely inconvenient way" is the new Linux slogan.

I thought the drive to make a /usr -> / symlink possible came from GNU Hurd developers in the hope of making PATH=/bin a viable configuration (and thus simplifying the concept of path resolution for users)?
