1) I have some doubts that this is really "under control". Maybe someone from 
base-system should comment how well booting with separate usr AND without 
early boot mechanism works. (That's also where Diego's blog posts come in.)

2) The main difficulty is that last council decided "something" and everyone 
has a different opinion on what was actually decided.

3) If things are not "under control", no council decision will magically fix 
that.

4) We should also remind ourselves that the general Gentoo philosophy used to 
be "follow upstream as much as possible". Given the general direction in Linux 
outside Gentoo, more and more software may migrate into /usr. Do we want to 
step up patching?
