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.
