15 | I reported this to bugzilla[1] in June. There was no resolution, but the |
16 | discussion was interesting and worth reading. To summarize, changing the |
17 | handbook would be a start, but it doesn't solve the larger problem, and |
18 | separate /usr will be supported for as long as it is practical to do so. |

20 | I don't know how to resolve the situation, but I'm relieved to hear that |
21 | other people care. |
