My question is, why can't portage do this automatically as part of the |
| 12 |
update process for these packages? |

Again: support for separate /usr should absolutely NOT be dropped |
| 15 |
unless/until this process can be handled properly by portage itself. |

At an absolute bare minimum, the emerge output should advise the user |
| 18 |
if/when they need to update their initramfs, but ideally, it should be |
| 19 |
done automatically - automation is something that computers are good at. |
