The whole reason I brought this up is, according to some, the council
did step in in April of 2012 and mandate that we must support separate
/usr without an early boot workaround. If you read the meeting log from
that meeting, it seems pretty clear that was chainsaw's intent.

Because of that perception, if base-system decides to do something
differently, there would definitely be flack over it.

In a nutshell, I am asking the council this question:

Is separate /usr, without an early boot mechanism like an initramfs,
an officially supported configuration?
