Sabotage's idea was essentially a symlink /usr -> / (and that came from
Hurd).

So far, the only good reason not to do that was that it's easier to put
/usr on a NFS shared among multiple hosts.

Regarding the stali idea, I don't think it is useful to make /devel
seperate (e.g. sabotage had development tools in a seperate set, but
installed them into /bin as well).
/lib/exec is not useful either.  Daemons should go to /bin, programs
strictly for internal purporses can go to /lib/$pkgname/.
(This works well in Arch already.)
