      /bin and /usr/bin (or sbin) have never been well separated, to the point where many distributions just symlink to /usr anyway.

      They were(see FHS) and you show exactly how broken it became.

      /usr supposed to have files that are needed only after first part of boot procees before mounting filesystems.

          And use bigger bandaid. Meanwhile initramfs and split-usr would greatly complement each other.

            of course not, any program that has it own install script install it on /bin because it’s easier, and why need that in a early boot, what’s the difference, was always a workaround, wasn’t needed to complement anything before, and don’t need anything now
