I'm not running initrd and still have separate root and /usr. In the past, system scripts have always been in /bin. Why not do away with "/usr/bin" and merge all to /bin?
This has been changed in 1988 with SunOS-4.0 ;-) At that time /bin has become a symlink to /usr/bin.
As a result, /sbin had to be created to hold the binaries that are needed to mount /usr.
Ahh yes... old SunOS... It seems that /bin was back shortly thereafter -- maybe in anticipation of Solaris, which replaced the older SunOS. I worked at Sun from 89-93...
