Keep in mind that the main proponents of this do not intend to issue any GLEPs (they don't use Gentoo), and they may or may not get around to changing FHS/etc. They just intend to "do it" - and to some extent they're already doing it. Unless projects like udev get forked, we're going there whether we want to or not - apparently a soon-to-be-introduced version of udev already breaks when /usr isn't mounted at boot. If people don't like this, they need to start writing code, otherwise they're going to get it by default... Rich
