But it will make our systems easier to use. So I vote for making it the default.
And it breaks 30 years of conventions on Unix systems and would be the only Linux distribution doing that by default.
It should be said that there was never much formal designs on the Unix file hierarchy as you imply. Freaking /home was former /usr, later splitted. I don't remember this stuff exactly, just some mention in college and some interneting, not much digging into it, but it seems /sbin comes from /etc, where among others some init scripts were put, and as the rest of the tree it evolved as needed. There is no shame in rethinking Suse's file hierarchy, but this isn't even the case. Is there any convention at all with regard to user's PATH? Personally, I think this only makes sense if we go through the sudo route, like Ubuntu. Otherwise, just symlink from /bin. Cheers, Ricardo
So that's definitely a no.
Do it on your box if you like to or even add a switch in YaST2 to enable it, but don't make it the default setting.
