I really don't see them as "sides". "We" are not at "war". And if
OpenRC is capable of booting without needing an initramfs, I really,
truly believe that is *GREAT*. But

a) It doesn't stop OpenRC to actually use an initramfs
b) Doesn't mean every other part of the stack will keep working
without an initramfs *AND* with a separated /usr.
c) Doesn't mean there are enough developers to keep supporting the
things upstream stop supporting.

Again, it all comes down to whoever writes the code. If Vapier wants
to support OpenRC for systems without initramfs and a separated /usr,
that's amazing and we should all said thanks to him and the other devs
for the extra effort. But it *WILL* be extra effort for him the moment
more upstreams choose to assume that either /usr is in /, or that the
system boots with an initramfs.

We can thank Vapier, but we cannot *demand* of him to support whatever
we want. Nor to any other dev.

So,if you *TRULY* believe that Gentoo should forever and ever support
any setup it has supported up until now, better start coding. Because
otherwise you can never be sure somebody else will do it for you.

And maybe I shouldn't even mention it, but I don't use OpenRC. I use
systemd. And it works great on Gentoo.

Regards.
