Nice plan. I'd merge current patchset and put this into some TODO (could be and
easyhack for newcommers, because test is already converted to the new API).

/etc is a symlink to /system/etc (maybe not presented everywhere). /sbin or /bin
are symlinks on distros which has done usr merge, thus might disappear in the
future. I'd vote for /dev, which is everywhere (so far).
Kind regards,
