No, it's not about "patches". More and more things just need /usr at boot time, and the solution is to mount it in the initramfs. The only alternative would be to keep moving stuff from /usr to /, which kind of defeats its purpose. Also, mounting /usr in the initramfs allows to explore the / to /usr move, which if practical will bring many benefits and allow supporting new features. -- ciao, Marco
