That breaks kmod for the usrmerged distributions, though.
Does it though?
The *distro* has /lib -> /usr/lib,
the *staging area* for installation does not.
Yes, currently the fully installed distribution has the symlink, at
least openSUSE does.

However, there is a goal to remove it eventually, and even now it is not
present at all times.
The ELF interpreter /lib/ld-linux.so.2 is hardcoded everywhere.

Making /lib a directory again and bindmounting/symlinking
all the ELF interpreters, that seems to entail a bit more work
than just leaving /lib as a symlink.
