Well, I don't speak for the teams that want to implement this, but my recommendation is that it not become a requirement until everything is in place to support it. So, our initramfs tools should automatically find and mount /usr and /var, and so on. Documentation should be updated as well, such as the raid+lvm guide. Once all that is done and working in ~arch, then it could be stabilized, at which point we can start expanding this dependency. Considering that we still haven't finished doing all of this for OpenRC yet, I wouldn't worry about the changes hitting you anytime soon. I'd consider a lessons-learned from OpenRC that we shouldn't stabilize packages until AFTER the docs are updated. Otherwise it can tend to never happen. Rich
