Have a look at this link, but there may be better explanations in the
interwebs:
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/TheCaseForTheUsrMerge/
Essentially the historical reasons for having a lot of separate directories/
fs/partitions/disks are becoming obsolete and many of them are due to merge,
changing the baselayout. I assume the move to profile 17.1 to deal with the
various /lib directories was the start.
