I'm not quite sure what is going to happen with this yet. If we do move openrc to /usr, there will be a way provided to boot with separate /usr. > What is happening to Linux nowadays? :/ In a nutshell, it is because of udev rules running things in /usr. That forces /usr to be available as part of the early boot sequence. This is definitely not a choice that the gentoo disto made; it is coming from several upstreams. William
