I do not see as part of the plan a process to
go through all Fedora packages and identifying
binaries in /usr/bin that have the same name
as a binary in /usr/sbin (from the same, or
different packages) such that the packager
(or the multiple packages) will need to
coordinate the changes (perhaps by engaging
upstream).
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Unify_bin_and_sbin#Scope
lists 9 packages that was aware of that use usermode.
$ dnf5 repoquery -l $(dnf5 repoquery --whatprovides '/usr/sbin/*' --qf
'%{name}\n') | rg '/usr/s?bin/' | sed -r 's|(.*)/([^/]*)$|\2|' |
sort | uniq -c | rg -w 2
says that /usr/sbin/{makemap,rpcinfo,rpcbind,sestatus,udevadm}
"shadow" files in /usr/bin. But those are all symlinks, i.e. they will
need just to be dropped to prevent a FTBFS. I added this list with
four packages to the Scope section.
