Sorry, but that's not an accurate account of what the council has decided on. What we voted on in the April 2012 meeting was this: <ulm> The question is: "Decide on whether a separate /usr is still a supported configuration." And later in the same meeting (yes, I know it's probably not enough context, so read the full log [1]): <ulm> _AxS_: we should make sure that there's reasonable documentation about setting up an initramfs though <_AxS_> ulm: oh yes -- i was figuring the solution on how to support separate /usr with new udev would be tabled at the mext meeting (if necessary) <Chainsaw> _AxS_: I would recommend raising the implementation details for next meeting, yes. [...] <dberkholz> the implementation details are my concern, but that's not the vote. <ulm> o.k., that's 5 yes 1 no then Ulrich [1] <http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/council/meeting-logs/20120403.txt>
