We may also create /usr/X11 as a directory now and create a link from /usr/X11/bin to /usr/bin (and probably from all the subdirectories in the old /usr/X11 to their respecitve counterparts in /usr) but this may be even harder to get rid of. Hmm. As already said replacing symlinks with directories is also critical, so it's nothing we should do now:-(
Right, therefore I'm all for /usr/X11 -> /usr.
I understand the verbose level concept. Either we could use another verbose level as default or set the messages about invalid font paths to a higher one. Anyway I don't think it's such a big issue, since we moved all fonts from our distributions to /usr/share/fonts and there are not that many external fonts in use I think (MS webfonts/Acrobat reader fonts come to my mind).
We don't. But ISV software (3rd party) might. It is conceivable that ISVs don't change things in there software to match the new behavior right away. What does the filesystem standard have to say about this anyway?
I need to have a closer look at Harald's proposals - after 10.2.
