At least I'd like to postpone this until rpm has learnt how to replace directories with symlinks and vice versa.
Old rpm bug, sigh. Do we wait on upstream to fix this?
Well, we're part of upstream, right?
... Technically thinking ... rpmbuild itself could actually take care of the whole issue. When processing the %files section, it could make sure, that everything ends up in /usr/* and provide symlinks as needed.
Uh, how does that solve the update issue?

True.
(Also note the flame fest on the Fedora lists, we don't want the same thing to happen here.)
IMHO The merge is a good thing. I always had difficulties explaining the split to newbies.
As both /bin and /usr/bin are in the path, I don't see how newbies are affected.
