(This would be my only post in this new thread: I think I have made my
point of view clear in the other thread).
I have seen a lot of disinformation going on in the other threads
(like some people suggesting that /var would not be able to be on its
own partition at some point in the future). Just before everyone start
to wildy conjecture, please take a look at this:
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/separate-usr-is-broken
Also, a look at this thread is maybe justified:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.systemd.devel/1728/
Both things are in the context of systemd, but it's related to the
discussion at hand. I know not everybody wants to use systemd, and
think Lennart and Kay are the root of all that is wrong and evil on
the world, but I will recommend everyone interested in the reasons of
the push for a recommended initramfs to take a look at the page in
fd.org, and the thread in the systemd mailing list. Even if you don't
agree with the reasoning, it is worth to take a look at it.
As for me, I would say one last time my POV: Linux strives to be much
more than Unix, and that means do things differently. It will always
be capable of do anything that Unix does, and most of the time it will
do it better. But that doesn't (necessarily) means that it will do it
in the same way.
And many of us don't take "but my config/setup/partition works now" as
a valid argument to restrain progress.
Change happens.
Regards everyone.
