Hi, Just a quick side-note.

There is a third option: help upstream to maintain what they consider the "legacy" alternative. Many upstreams, including at Red Hat, seem to be willing to work with downstream packagers that contribute patches. Of course that has nothing to do with the real motivation no one has mentioned, which is that deciding for each binary whether to put it in /bin or /usr/bin is a pain in the neck. It very well may be sensible to tweak the boot process to mount /usr sooner to avoid that trouble. The main technical difficulty seems to be platforms where it is common to boot without an initramfs (for example, if it is hard to reconfigure the bootloader and the bootloader is already set up to use a plain kernel).
