Is that what eudev is going to do?  I follow -dev and according to the
eudev people they are going to support a separate /usr with no init
thingy.  So, they have a plan to do this.  From what they were posting,
they seem pretty sure they can do this. 

I'm just waiting on eudev to get stable.  It was posted that the one in
the tree still needs a couple fixes and then it will be ready for some
testing.  Heck, I'll gladly test it whenever they say it boots and KDE
will work.  Heck, just booting is a good start.  lol
