6 Unfortunately it hasn't ended; the debating over it just stopped.

8 There was a council vote in April 2012 over this, but it isn't even
9 clear what they voted for.

11 My personal opinion though, is that if people have /usr separate from
12 /, they should be using an initramfs to get /usr mounted. If they want
13 to use busybox[sep-usr] this is an option that we came up with
14 internally in gentoo, but it has many limitations.
