My snarky response is the old joke-
Patient: "Doctor, it hurts when I do this."
Doctor: "So stop doing it."
My more serious response is, this problem is part and parcel with my
long running concern that the world of Linux developers is become
increasingly divorced from its roots. I understand how this particular
problem has arisen, but I'm appalled to see them take such a
corporate-manager position in response to their user-base complaints.
This is the sort of guff I used to get from my
IBM/Microsoft/DEC/HP/<your favorite here> sales and field-service staff
back in the day.
I suppose technically it is possible to create a /usr directory on the
root partition and populate it with a core collection of programs so
they are available early in booting and then merge the rest of /usr from
another partition later on, but that's another PITA.

Kent
