Yes, this a known issue. The short story is that, initially, alternatives didn't work well when files were moved from /usr/sbin to /usr/bin. So after the packages using alternatives were initially rebuilt with the merge, people reported errors, and some of them were patched to explicitly use /usr/sbin, even if built in a merged system. This was supposed to be a temporary workaround. Later we patched alternatives to understand those directories as equivalent (https://github.com/fedora-sysv/chkconfig/commit/75ff4794c0). So now we need to remove the workarounds in packages and rebuild them. Once that's done, the upgraded systems should get the merge automatically. So I think it's better to do that rather than implemeent the merge manually.
