Well, they are about to move some openrc things to /usr or at least that
was the way it was leaning earlier. The thread is titled "rfc: using
/libexec" if you are interested. If you still don't like the idea of
not being able to have /usr on a separate partition, may want to speak
up soon. Once openrc stuff gets moved there, you won't boot with a
separate /usr anymore.
I'm not quite sure what is going to happen with this yet. If we do move
openrc to /usr, there will be a way provided to boot with separate /usr.
Actually, I would prefer the /run option and put all the stuff needed
for booting in there. Just keep it small. I was planning to separate
/usr but I don't want the hassle of a init* system. So, instead of just
creating a new partition for /usr, I got to redo the whole drive setup.
If I do end up with the init* anyway, I may as well use lvm too. I sure
hate to jump into all that at once tho. Murphy's Law just loves the
crap out of me.
What is happening to Linux nowadays? :/
In a nutshell, it is because of udev rules running things in /usr. That
forces /usr to be available as part of the early boot sequence.
This is definitely not a choice that the gentoo disto made; it is coming
from several upstreams.

I know it is from upstream but it still tastes really bad. ;-)
