Does it really matter? What people in the |
| 6 |
separate-/usr-without-initramfs camp really want is continued support |
| 7 |
for the "/ is a self-contained boot disk that is independent of /usr" |
| 8 |
use case, because without such support, the |
| 9 |
separate-/usr-without-initramfs approach that they're accustomed to |
| 10 |
becomes impossible. |

The /usr merge [1] can be viewed as just one of many signs of a |
| 13 |
widespread shift away from supporting the heavy burden of the "/ is a |
| 14 |
self-contained boot disk that is independent of /usr" use case. |
