This use flag, sep-usr, has nothing to do with the /usr merge. It was |
| 13 |
added as a way to allow a few more people to use separate /usr |
| 14 |
configurations (this means/ and /usr on separate |
| 15 |
filesystems) without initramfs, before the council decided that all who |
| 16 |
have separate /usr should be using an initramfs. |

Separate /usr does not preclude merging / into /usr. |
