As we alrerady have discussed before, this is a really bad idea
as it may make a system unusable if /usr could not be mounted.

It's been some time since I was last familiar with this stuff.
Am I correct in saying that /lib (as distinct to /usr/lib)
contains libraries that may be needed during recovery operations
(eg, when /usr is unavailable)?  I think that is correct,
and explains the demise of the old static binaries
in /usr/sbin/static.

Anyway, an ldd on /usr/bin/bash shows that it requires nothing
outside of /lib (ie nothing in /usr).  So my guess would be
that simply copying /usr/bin/bash to /sbin would make it
available to you in times of emergency (ie when only /
is mounted, perhaps ro).

Incidentally my view is that a separate /usr is a bad idea otherwise
I'd be able to try this out.

Cheers
