Ok, and if this is all true, I can accept it. |

But... |

I also have /var on a separate (LVM) partition. What I'm AFRAID of, is |
| 23 |
that some 'brain-dead moron' will, sometime in the future, arbitrarily |
| 24 |
decide that having a separate /var will *also* require an initramfs |
| 25 |
because some *other* brain-dead moron (who happens to have enough clout |
| 26 |
to shove their garbage down our throats)... then what is next /home? |
| 27 |
|

It seems to me like the more likely case is that someone somewhere wants |
| 29 |
to require BOTH systemd AND an initramfs in ALL cases, and this is just |
| 30 |
the first step in that progression. |
