There was at least one council member that said they would not accept
an initramfs solution as the only way to support separate-/usr, but
having also been there I believe the vote itself was still that
"separate /usr will be supported" period.

So yes, a proper initramfs solution including documentation would
suffice for this April meeting decision.  This however rolls forward
to the October council meeting and it's decision to wait and/or not
officially adopt a "separate-/usr is only supported through an
initramfs" policy.  (The decision at that meeting was rather
complicated so i'm not really trying to summarize it but rather just
reference that it happened)
