 I will always turn this option on, even in non-systemd, because it makes for a
better environment. See the Fedora document for a long explanation why split
/usr is just legacy baggage. Other parts of your system will also work better
when this option is turned on - no more confusion between busybox installing
something in /bin and the full package putting it in /usr/bin. No more worries
about a shebang being correct.

 So no, I don't want this to be hidden.

 Regards,
 Arnout
