Just for completeness, I started this thread over on systemd ML which talked about a "CoreOS" goal of being able to boot with an empty /etc http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.systemd.devel/7908 I've been slowly trying to push this anyway (i.e. moving all shipped udev rules and tmpfiles to /usr) but there is a long, long way to go here to get this fully working (and a crap-load of packages to fix up in this regards so it won't really happen anytime soon). Still, it would make running a chrooted/multi-root/shared-/usr system much more manageable and I think it's something we should all keep in mind as we package and develop things :) Happy hacking.
