In 2012, together with Harald Hoyer, Sievers was the main driving force behind Fedora's merging of the /lib, /bin and /sbin file system trees into /usr, a simplification which has since been adopted by other distributions such as Arch Linux.[5]
He is currently employed by Red Hat, Inc.[3] and previously has worked for Novell.[2][6]
Kay Sievers grew up in Eastern Germany[7] and nowadays resides in Berlin, Germany.[8]
