1 But I don't *want* to run a genkernel for reasons of my own.

3 I do not *want* to have to have an init* pseudo-filesystem for reasons
4 of my own.
5
6 I may want to have a separate /usr for rrerasons of my own.
7
8 Distros that *force* me to do things I don't want to do, for whatever
9 reasons they claim, are not going to remain in my favor for long.

11 Those claiming that a separate /usr has been broken for a while are, to
12 be blunt, lying. Certain programs and libraries were added or moved to
13 /usr in dirext violation of established practice. The massive
14 objections of many folks were simply ignored and denigrated with extreme
15 prejudice by certain folks who had acquired delusions of power beyond
16 their proper roles.
17
18 There is *only* ONE Linux God - Linus Torvalds - and even he abandoned
19 GNOME when cetain things were done. (Nota Bene: somewhat tongue-in-cheek.)
20
21 "Against stupidity, even the Gods strive in vain" and I suspect that
22 Linus may not liek some of the shit going down, but is reluctantly
23 dealing with the fallout.
