[systemd-devel] Dropping split-usr/unmerged-usr support

Hi,

As part of our spring cleaning effort, we are considering when to drop
support for split/unmerged-usr filesystem layouts.

A build-time warning was added last year:

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/9afd5e7b975e8051c011ff9c07c95e80bd954469

We are now adding a runtime taint as well.

Which distributions are left running with systemd on a split/unmerged-
usr system?

(reminder: we refer to a system that boots without a populated /usr as
split-usr, and a system where bin, sbin and lib* are not symlinks to
their counterparts under /usr as unmerged-usr)

Kind regards,
Luca Boccassi
