AFAIK it has been discussed for Fedora/RH, but I think they're doing the / /usr merge first and /usr/bin /usr/sbin (which would then take care of the already merged /bin /sbin) later. I believe they've mostly decided already, but timing, etc, will depend on how the first phase, the / /usr merger, goes, and of course if that turns out to go worse than expected, the second phase could still be called off. But don't bet on it as certainly, people will have already been running their systems that way in ordered to seriously advocate it, so it's likely to mostly just take a couple release cycles to work thru their system and get the corner- case kinks worked out. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
