Explanation of the change by @fossdd@chaos.social:

/bin and /sbin will be a symlink to /usr/bin and /usr/sbin, effectively reducing the number of bin and sbin directories and simplifying your filesystem layout. The big motivaion for this is to have an immutable fs where the distro is purely located on the /usr directory and everything else is setup at runtime.
