The difference is that you are not going to be able to influence Red Hat in supporting systems with /usr not available after the initramfs, while there is a political process to influence the creation of better laws which even the EPO must follow. (I am not singling Red Hat as the bad guy here, but it is the distribution which controls the development of most low level system components and so their design decisions have a significant impact on others.) -- ciao, Marco
