I don't recall seeing any formal documentation--just the discussion on -devel which resulted in its addition. Its purpose (writable filesystem for early boot) matches what resolvconf needs perfectly. > Maybe try to get a guideline inserted into debian-policy? I think this would be a useful addition to policy. However, IIRC policy only documents existing practice, so the selinux and resolvconf changes would probably need using as examples. The lack of users might be what has held this back. Thanks, Roger PS: Happy New Year! -- .''`.
