On any box for which I've built a kernel, there's no initramfs and (except in
one case – netbook) there's a separate /usr. I'd quite like to keep it this
way...
/ (without /usr) is often enough for rescue purposes (and if it isn't, it's
enough to get /usr mounted). And if / is broken, then you have larger
problems anyway.
This mount-/usr/-in-initramfs looks to me like a means of reducing choice.
