Sorry, but that's not an accurate account of what the council has
decided on. What we voted on in the April 2012 meeting was this:

   <ulm> The question is: "Decide on whether a separate /usr is still
         a supported configuration."

And later in the same meeting (yes, I know it's probably not enough
context, so read the full log [1]):

   <ulm> _AxS_: we should make sure that there's reasonable
         documentation about setting up an initramfs though
   <_AxS_> ulm: oh yes -- i was figuring the solution on how to
           support separate /usr with new udev would be tabled at the
           mext meeting (if necessary)
   <Chainsaw> _AxS_: I would recommend raising the implementation
              details for next meeting, yes.
   [...]
   <dberkholz> the implementation details are my concern, but that's
               not the vote.
   <ulm> o.k., that's 5 yes 1 no then
