Also FreeBSD (and other BSDs) usually mount /usr on its own partition. I think that causes issues in Linux these days. So yes, merging in the BSDs may be a big change.

FWIW, Slackware keeps the separate, following the Linux Standard Base.

FreeBSD definitely doesn't create /usr as a separate filesystem by default. I think some people still do that, but I have no idea why.
