It would make porting apps that call /usr/bin/env a whole lot easier.Even with multi user, there will never be a /usr directory in Haiku. Porting is not just recompiling, and it deserves a bit more attention (like to put the settings into the right place, or use the native Media Kit instead of porting G-Streamer as well).
Not sure where you're planning to put user-accesible binaries then, and /usr/bin just seemed the obvious location.
I also am aware of the difference between merely compiling something and porting it, D'oh! But when a test suite uses Python and calls hundreds of scripts with #!/usr/bin/env python then the sensible thing to do is NOT edit the whole mess, but to install a simple symlink. I don't care what the _proper_ way to do that might be, the return isn't worth the effort when tests are run once and then immediately deleted once their results are known.
Uh, and I have no idea what G-Streamer might be... Rob
