For an existing Rawhide system, will regular updates migrate it to a
merged bin-sbin? I am asking because it looks to me like it happened
already but my system still has a /usr/sbin directory.
Will an in-place upgrade of 41 to 42 merge bin and sbin?
Not exactly. Zbigniew decided that 'migrating' existing systems would
be too risky, so instead, they still have a separate /usr/sbin , but
everything in it should now be a symlink pointing to /usr/bin.
I have reservations about this design as it means pre-F42 upgraded
systems will differ significantly from F42+ fresh installs forever, but
we'll see how it works out.
OK small problem then, I still have a *lot* of stuff in /usr/sbin that
is not yet a link. Is that expected and will change with more updates,
or has something gone wrong?
Partial listing to illustrate:

I'm not 100% sure, honestly. I think it might take updates.
Well I've just hit a related issue. I just built a fresh VirtualBox
Rawhide Xfce made from
Fedora-Everything-netinst-x86_64-Rawhide-20250120.n.0.iso (blood
pressure still recovering from the dramas caused by the current
anaconda... Wayland?) and I am unable to install beesu.
The error looks related to the merge (beesu for me still isn't a link in
my old Rawhide instance... it's still in /usr/sbin).
rawhide$ sudo dnf install beesu
.
.
.
Running transaction
Transaction failed: Rpm transaction failed.
- file /usr/sbin/beesu conflicts between attempted installs of
beesu-2.7-47.fc41.x86_64 and beesu-2.7-47.fc41.x86_64
rawhide$
Note that beesu is not yet installed.
