OK, people keep saying this, and I keep missing why this is implied or
has to be true.
Within the initrd we mount /usr if it is located on a separate
filesystem. Thus the link /bin -> /usr/bin is not dangling.
Based on my interpretation this meets FHS and LSB requirements. But
that's my interpretation.

/usr get mounted in the initrd. Yes for people not using a distribution
and no initrd things become a bit more cumbersome, but I am not certain
this is a disqualification for the merge.
