there was no conspiracy and there will never be one to break seperate /usr. |

|
| 7 |
In fact seperate /usr works just fine. |

You just need an initrd/initramfs. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Other distros are using those for ages. So for them putting something |
| 12 |
'essential' into /usr was no problem. It was not their fault that gentoo |
| 13 |
users hate this things so much. From REDHATs or SuSEs perspective |
| 14 |
seperate /usr is not a problem. Putting |
| 15 |
lvm/bluetooth/mdraid/whateverthefuckyoumightneed there was and is not a |
| 16 |
problem too. Thanks to initrds&co. They are using them for AGES and it |
| 17 |
works fine. |
| 18 |

See? No conspiracy needed. It just happened that YOUR use case of |
| 20 |
seperate /usr + no initrd has become so arcane and rare that pretty much |
| 21 |
nobody needs or wants to worry about fringe cases. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Would you be fine with a 40% decrease in performance just to optimally |
| 24 |
support some 3 machines worldwide architecture? Certainly not. And that |
| 25 |
is not a conspiracy either. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
I dislike them, because they are another step to be taken on updates. |
| 28 |
But if I was so dumb to create a seperate /usr - well I wouldn't |
| 29 |
complain about the initrd and just go with the rest. |
