There is no disagreement about whether or not separate /usr will be
supported. No one has said that you can't have a separate /usr
partition.
Was the council aware of the tracker bug we have open where we are
tracking the documentation changes explaining how to build an initramfs
if you have a separate /usr partition [1]?
Also, I am going to reiterate what Greg said. This is not an issue with
udev, but with the entire linux ecosystem.
There are binaries in /{bin,sbin} which link against libraries in
/usr/lib for example.
Also, with the appropriate documentation changes, which are being worked
on (see [1]), I feel that the statement above that newer udev can't be
stabled should be re-evaluated.
