Why on earth do the linker, kernel modules, etc. need to be in /usr/lib/ at all, other than Poettering's raves and rants?
We need to empty /lib, otherwise we can't symlink it.
There is no need at all to ever symlink /lib! I would be fine with a /lib directory that has exactly 2 symlinks (namely ld-linux.so.2 and ld-linux-x86_64.so.2). Also stuff like kernel modules, udev rules, and so on. Why move them at all? The primary concern is binaries, that's where problems may occur (that's why we would - long-term - need symlinks from /bin, /sbin and /usr/sbin to /bin). For libraries, we can put them whereever we want.
