Pretty much yea.  I started making a init thing when they were talking
about not supporting /usr on a separate partition.  Then about a month
ago eudev was announced which means we can boot with /usr on a separate
partition and no init thingy, like it used to be.

My basic question is this, has anyone started using eudev yet?  From my
understanding it is basically udev with the files where they used to be
before they changed things.  I'm thinking about switching but wondering
what all is involved.  It appears to be as simple as unmerge udev and
emerge eudev and restart eudev.  Is it really THAT simple?
