Then there are things like what we did in gentoo years before I came on board to get around a toolchain bug https://bugs.gentoo.org/4411. Whoever was working on this back then decided that we should move most of the critical shared libraries to /lib or /lib64 and put linker scripts in /usr/lib*. That has to disappear before we can even think about the /usr merge. Also, remember that we are a rolling release distro. We do not have specific gentoo x.x releases; users just go along updating packages. So, I'm not sure how to force the /usr merge and symlink creation to happen on all of our users' systems in one go.
