As you well know, not all of "our" devs are in favour of this idea. To quote one of them (vapier) "brain dead behavior in other packages has no bearing on openrc. openrc will never require crap like initramfs simply to boot. -mike" And in a later mail: "...if there is something in openrc that doesnt work with a split /usr or /var, then file a bug because it is a bug..." > No, by "you know what needs to be done" I mean: code.
