In Tumbleweed,
/bin /sbin /lib /lib64 are symbolic links to /usr/bin /usr/sbin /usr/lib and / usr/lib64
I can see that but why is /opt not a link to /usr/opt and all /usr/opt not there too?
Am I missing the reason or has no one thought of this yet?
/usr is for the OS of the distribution /opt is for third party packages Since the stuff is different and follows different policies, it got separated many, many years ago for good reasons (read the FHS for more). Merging them now again doesn't make much sense and would only create new problems for transactional-updates, image based installations and many more.
