Separate /usr is broken, maybe "faulty" would be a better word. It's like
software bugs, not everyone hits every bug, if you don't use the buggy
bits of the program. But would you rather wait until the program stopped
working for you or have the bugs fixed before you ever saw them?
Also consider that this is about Gentoo support for separate /usr. They
are supporting it now, which means they are spending time on it that
could be devoted elsewhere. Their spending that time on it may well be
the reason you have been shielded from the problems caused by a
separate /usr. All the news item says is that the Gentoo devs are no
longer going to do that for you, and they have presented a couple of
solutions. You are free to find a third path, or even continue using a
separate /usr without initramfs in the hope or belief that it will not
break for you.
