Not the case IMO. My read of all this stuff is that within a few |
| 27 |
months we'll be back to allowing /usr to be anywhere without an |
| 28 |
initramfs or initramfs generated automagically such that you hardly |
| 29 |

While I'm no expert on initramfs technology, it's not large. Mine is |
| 32 |
only a bit larger than 2MB. Likely it doesn't contain whatever is |
| 33 |
required to deal with systemd/udev but it's not like it's much disk |
| 34 |
space... |
