I would. But given the way udev people "solve" those issues, I don't.
If something on /var is needed during boot in the next ten years, they

will do it the same way the next time such an issue arises.
You keep speculating and speculating. When you have some evidence to
sustain your claims, we talk.
Regards.
Can you point to where a dev has said that /var, /home or any other changes
will NEVER happen?
Of course not, but this is the same as any accusation: the people
making the accusation has to provide the evidence. YOU are the one
making the accusation, YOU provide the evidence.
So you say it will never happen and you know that. Ooooook. Sounds
like you have a real good crystal ball there.
I would start with the dev that caused all this if it
were me. I would like to hear that from him for sure. Let's see if you can
prove your claim then we'll talk.
*I* don't have to prove anything because I'm talkin about the facts
*right now*. You guys are the ones speculating about an imaginary
future.
I'm talking about what can likely happen in the future based on what has
already happened. Until recently, /usr didn't have to be on / with or
without a init thingy. Now it does. See the point yet?
Like I said, a year or so ago, I would have thought anyone saying /usr would
need to be on / to boot or a init thingy was losing their mind. It is just
not the way Linux is supposed to be. Yet here we are.
Says who? I say it is exactly the way Linux is supposed to be. And
/usr doesn't *need* to be on /; just get an initramfs and you can have
it in an NFS from the other side of the planet.
Regards.
Oh for a very long time, /usr could be on a separate partition and no
init thingy was required. That changed right? What change is going to
happen next you reckon? That is my point. /usr is required today, /var
is the only directory left except for /home. I figure something on /var
is next and then some ultra smart dev will find something that needs
/home eventually.
I can't prove that it will for certain happen but I can say that is the
way things are going based on the change that just happened. You can
not say it is never going to happen either. You have no more proof than
anyone else on this list.
