Comment (by anarcat):

 one impact of mergedusr is actually when it's *not* enabled. for example,
 with mergedusr, `/usr/sbin/ip` is a valid path, but without, it isn't. so
 someone (mistakenly, perhaps) hardcoding said path will *fail* on a non-
 merged system (including any stretch system) while working on a merged
 system.

 so that's actually an argument *for* enabling merged-usr...
