Oh, now I understand what you mean, instead of doing it
like the merge of /usr, you would make the new paths
and not the old ones to be symbolic links. Yes, it should not
break anything. Thanks.
I have one question, does it work without breaking anything
if I mark the old directories with a hidden atribute instead of
some file manager specific configuration?
