Useless legacies
I always fine it at least fascinating, the religiousness with which some people stand to defend “classical” (or, in my opinion more properly, “legacy”) choices in the Unix world.
For some reason, it seems like a huge lot of legacies relate to filesystems, or maybe it’s just because filesystems are something I struggle with continuously, especially for what concerns combining the classical Unix filesystem hierarchy with my generally less hierarchical use of it. I’m not going to argue for not splitting the usual /usr out of the root file system here (while it’s something I definitely would support, that pretty artificial split makes the whole system startup a messy problem), nor I’m going to discuss how to divide your storage space to file in the standard “legacy” hierarchy.
