Fedora plans to simplify the Linux File System

Since 1979, Unix-like systems have adopted a special method, which may be obscure to some people-to organize files. Now, if you can overcome various potential challenges, the Linux ora project plans to change the file system hierarchy for storing binary applications. RedHat developers HaraldHoyer and KaySievers propose to move all executable files into the/usr/bin directory and move their libraries to/usr/lib or/usr/lib64 as needed. Author of systemd Le

Since 1979, Unix-like systems have adopted a special method, which may be obscure to some people-to organize files. Now, if you can overcome various potential challenges, the Linux ora project plans to change the file system hierarchy for storing binary applications. Red Hat developers Harald Hoyer and Kay Sievers propose to move all executable files to the/usr/bin directory and move their libraries to/usr/lib or/usr/lib64 as needed.

Lennart Poettering, author of systemd, believes that merging Application Files into/usr can significantly reduce complexity. However, the disadvantage of this approach is that it conflicts with the file system level Standard Linux Standard Base.
