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.
