It sounds like your reasoning is sound with regards to the weird
dependency between /boot/system and /boot/common, and I definitely
agree that everything which the system requires to run should be in
the system. But if /boot/common is to be removed, how will system-wide
software be installed?
I'm sure there is a package-manager solution for this, but I am not
personally familiar with much of the package management details, and I
imagine I'm not alone in this among the Haiku community.
I would also wonder how one would go about overriding some software
provided by the system. Such as an example close to my heart:
overriding the system provided Freetype, which lacks code for proper
subpixel text rendering, with one which does have that code.
