Re: DragonFly 3.4 release planning

    The normal DragonFly setup puts /usr in / anyway.  We haven't had a
    separate /usr in a long time.

    However, if we wanted to support older partition setups which did,
    there's no reason why we couldn't install all the libs into a /lib
    and just have /usr/lib be a null-mount of /lib.  A bit messy but it
    would work.

    Given a choice, I'd rather not impose any additional mess here and
    just stick with /usr/lib for everything, including /bin and /sbin,
    and not allow /usr to be a separate mount from /.

    make installworld could check for the case and refuse to install if
    /usr is on a different mount from /.
