That much, we can certainly agree on :)

I'm not keen on delaying the restructuring after trixie, because that
means users will only get their hands on it ~3 years from now. That's
a very long time.

At the same time, I understand your eagerness to get the /usr-move
transition done, and as far as possible I don't want to stand in the
way of that.

We've been discussing things in fairly vague terms until now,
especially when it comes to timing. Can we get more concrete? How
long do you think I could reasonably spend trying to make the
restructuring happen before it becomes, well, too long, and the
/usr-move just *has* to happen, regardless of progress on that front?
