This does not mean that on November 1 your system will not be able to boot.
Its simply means that beginning November 1, Gentoo devs are not required to
jump through hoops to make apps work on systems with /usr separate from /.
Now, what are you going to do? That's the question.
This won't necessarily be the end of the worl, if, and ONLY if any and
all ebuild mainteainers are REQUIRED to provide very large and scary
warnings if they change something that will cause any systems with a
separate /usr and NO initramfs to fail to boot.
The news item *IS* the warning.
Oh for fucks sake... BULLSHIT.
If an ebuild maintainer changes something that will BREAK BOOTING on
systems that violate the 'no separate /usr without an initramfs' rule,
what in the FUCK is the problem with requiring them to WARN PEOPLE?
