That is *not* the concern here, Canek, and that should be obvious from
the comments here.
Repeat: the primary concern is *not* about separate /usr without initramfs.
The primary concern is that systemd will eventually be shoved down our
throats whether we want it or not, and using eudev or mdev or
*anything* other than systemd (ie OpenRC/eudev) will.
And the track record speaks for itself, regardless of *any* promises
that it won't, it is obvious to anyone with eyes to see and ears to hear
that this is a blatant LIE.
Everything that is happening is simply setting the stage for precisely that.
When you have almost all distributions converging on that, and even
*the OpenRC maintainer* (which is the one pushing this, BTW, not the
systemd guys) supporting that decision, don't you think that perhaps,
just*perhaps*, everybody screaming about the sky falling (which, BTW,
they are certainly noisy, but I really don't think are that many) are
overreacting and even (*gasp* again) wrong?
Again, the main issue is not about separate /usr, so please stop trying
to deflect the subject...
In my opinion, the single largest reason to *not* switch to systemd in
gentoo is the source of the push - in other words, it is coming from
Fedora - and GNOME lovers are the maintainers.
