My personal opinion is that Debian is going into a mostly "we got the best idea in the world but forgot that not everyone implement things the same way". Those really good technology like Betacam, Audio DVD and other tech-failed. I currently have a different partition for my /usr and this has been the case since the end of 1990s when I started on Linux. Maybe I'm wrong but I like it this way. Will the merge-usr cause myself problem ? If so, I'm willing to give a hand investing time to make something that is not "merge-usr".
