I'm in the process of switching two machines fom 17.1 to 23.0/split-usr [emerge @world will probably take overnight.] I've read the merge-usr page, and it looks pretty simple. But, I'm going to run 23.0 split-usr for a few weeks first -- just to make sure that the new profile hasn't broken anything. If you run OpenRC, it doesn't sound like there's any real reason you need to do the merge any time soon. If you run systemd, there's some version number cutoff where it will refuse to work on a split-usr install (IIRC). After all, the systgemd motto is "all your computer are belong to us!" -- Grant
