You are welcome to keep it separate. What you're being told by the Gentoo |
| 13 |
devs, specifically WilliamH, is that the Gentoo devs can no longer support |
| 14 |
early mount of /usr separate from / and if you choose to keep that, your |
| 15 |
system is going to require an initramfs to boot. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Just that simple. |

All the "we don't want them shoving whatever down our throats" arguments are a |
| 20 |
waste of time. You have been warned over 30 days in advance. |

This does not mean that on November 1 your system will not be able to boot. |
| 23 |
Its simply means that beginning November 1, Gentoo devs are not required to |
| 24 |
jump through hoops to make apps work on systems with /usr separate from /. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Now, what are you going to do? That's the question. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
1 - keep ranting about "them" and what "they are doing to me"? |
| 29 |
2 - move your /usr under / ? |
| 30 |
3 - learn HOW-TO make and install an initramfs? |
