Creating symlinks in /bin and /sbin DOES NOT result in a merged-/usr 
system, because the content of /usr would not be decoupled anymore from 
the content of /.
A merged-/usr system must have /bin /sbin /lib* symlinks to /usr.

What you are proposing is NOT an alternative implementation of 
merged-/usr but something else, which has no significant benefits.
