Dale - I'm honestly curious, what is your reason, philisophical or

Everything I've read says there is no good reason for it today.
Separate /home, /tmp, /var, yes, good reasons for t hose... but not
/usr...
So, again - why would you prefer switching distro's over merging /usr
back into / and be done with it?
The reason is the same I have posted before. I have / and /boot on
regular partitions. Everything else is on LVM. I don't have / on LVM
because it would require a init thingy. I don't have /boot on LVM
because grub doesn't or didn't support it. I have since switched to
grub2 so it may but still have the issue with / so no need redoing
everything for that.
Well, I don't see a *reason* to WANT to have /usr on a separate
partition. I see only THE reason that you have it there NOW.
Also, logically speaking, if the stated reason for not having / (or
/boot) on separate LVM partitions is because it would require an init
thingy, then why can't you simply add /usr to that reason?
Again, I'm asking for why you WANT it on a separate LVM partition, not
why it is there now.
The way I see it, if y ou cannot provide a rational answer to that
question, then there is no reason for you to use this as a reason to
abandon gentoo, only a reason to merge /usr into /...
