As you well know, not all of "our" devs are in favour of this idea.
To quote one of them (vapier)

"brain dead behavior in other packages has no bearing on openrc.  openrc will

-mike"

And in a later mail:

"...if there is something in openrc that doesnt 
work with a split /usr or /var, then file a bug because it is a bug..."
