Which is still not really a problem when tons of other daemons have done the same already. We're not "fixing" this by patching systemd and udev when many other daemons behave the same way. So, it's pointless anyway. Besides, can you elaborate what is so important in having /usr separate? I see that it made sense back on the old Unix workstations where you could split partitions across different disks, but I don't see the point nowadays where a cheap harddisk has 1TB of space. > That is exactly this kind of things (and others, like merging systemd > and udev), going to the wrong direction, which pushed Gentoo people > to fork. Which I don't agree. Just look at FreeBSD, they have the whole operating system core merged with their kernel source.

You just made a new occurrence of it. :( And you are dodging my questions. Don't you think that people like Richard who make such bold claims that writing a free BIOS replacement is a matter of a few hundred lines of assembly, ridiculing the almost 15 years of development of Coreboot, cannot be taken seriously? Do you think that Greg - being a Gentoo developer himself - would make such statements if he didn't knew what he was talking about? Sorry, but no. I have seen such claims in the past very often where people ridiculed existing software stacks and claiming they could do something better in no time [1]. This guy would even remain on his bold point of view after one of the Ardour and Jack developers explained him why he was wrong [2]. I didn't mean to be aggressive in any way, I'm just annoyed. Please don't get me wrong about forks, they are just fine. As I said before, I like MATE very much, for example, because these people do great work and they even collaborate with the original authors from GNOME. But I don't support forks which are created based on false assumptions of the original software. Another bad example where people forked and obviously don't know what they're doing is Trinity [3].
