Hi,

you're right that systemd itself would function OK without its own
libraries.  But it's hard to say what other softwre links to them, and
it'd be irresponsible to move stuff from /lib to /usr/lib without auditing
the users. But we don't want to waste time on this, since the whole
/usr-vs-/ split is obsolete.
