Three points :- |
| 17 |
1) systemd - not all gentoo users subscribe to this 'philosophy' .. but |
| 18 |
no, I don't want get drawn into debates of yes/no of systemd .. |
| 19 |
2) "Today, a separate /usr partition already must be mounted by the |
| 20 |
initramfs during early boot, thus making the justification for a |
| 21 |
split-off moot." - no, not all gentoo users have an initramfs and |
| 22 |
need/want one .. so this is a false assumption. |
| 23 |
3) I still believe there is merit in distinguishing between binaries |
| 24 |
that can/should be run as root, and those that can/should not. Those |
| 25 |
that run as root 100% of the time, or use VMs, don't really 'use' linux |
| 26 |
in the original sense of the OS .. |
