8 I also certainly do not like this systemd crusade and having initramfs
9 and friends forced down our throats. Solving it properly would give
10 Gentoo an advantage over other distros and I feel that this is the road
11 we should take. Problem is this is more or less a doacracy. We are
12 governed by the doers. Choices come down to:
13
14 * Voice your concern and then hush up if noone takes it up
15 * Spend some non-trivial brain and cpu cycles, not to mention time, to
16 get to a proper solution
17 * Search for alternative, possibly non-Linux, solutions
