udev/eudev has nothing to do with it. It's the init systems (as in |
| 15 |
both systemd and OpenRC) the ones that are pushing/have pushed for |
| 16 |
dropping support for it. In Gentoo, the move is being championed by |

He's the OpenRC maintainer. NOBODY who has actually worked on the |
| 22 |
problem wants to support a separate /usr without an initramfs, because |
| 23 |
it makes no sense. |

|
| 25 |
So it doesn't matter if you use udev, eudev, mdev or even a static |
| 26 |
/dev directory; no init system wants to support a separate /usr |
| 27 |
without an initramfs. |

And for a good reason: is braindead. |
