| Yes. But should the system be moved to /usr, the above would

Sure, and / might come from FC, USB, SATA, iSCSI or similar too. A
difference is that the initramfs isn't available once you start init in
your real /. The logical conclusion is then to start udev from the
initramfs, something we already do.
