You can always ask upstream but just about everybody is moving away |
| 7 |
from this. A Gentoo update is in the works that will require anybody |
| 8 |
using systemd to move everything in / to /usr (it isn't difficult to |
| 9 |
switch). (/bin would become a symlink to /usr/bin and so on). |
| 10 |
Probably won't be mandatory for non-systemd users but pretty soon |
| 11 |
upstreams are going to start assuming that there is no difference |
| 12 |
between /usr/lib and /lib and so on. Gentoo maintainers could |
| 13 |
potentially patch that behavior but it currently isn't required to |
| 14 |
accept bugs that break booting if /usr isn't already mounted. |

Simplest solution is to use an initramfs, which is basically what 99% |
| 17 |
of linux users use (just talking about conventional distros here, but |
| 18 |
I'm guessing Android uses one). |

Depending on your config things may still work using /usr in the |
| 21 |
traditional way, but if it doesn't work there is no guarantee that |
| 22 |
anybody will help you fix that. |
