*YOUR WIFE'S LAPTOP* won't boot properly without /usr on /, or an initramfs. OK, put /usr on /, or an initramfs*ON YOUR WIFE'S LAPTOP*. I don't have a problem with that. What gets people really upset is the dog-in-the-manger attitude of "if my complex/corner-case machine won't boot up without /usr on /, or an initramfs, then by golly*NOBODY'S* machine will be allowed to boot up without /usr on /, or an initramfs". My machine does not use bluetooth/other-weird-stuff. udev doesn't need to find bluetooth drivers on /usr on my machine. Why is udev being deliberately broken to not work on*EVERYBODY'S* machine if they don't have /usr on /, or an initramfs?
Why can't this argument simply be satisfied with one or more new profiles?
