Good one!!!!! :)
I guess this merge happening only because systemd...
Now the council expects people to:
1. maintain initramfs, it can be complex or simple task, depend on the
configuration.
2. place all disk and filesystem recovery utilities within initramfs.
3. or... prepare to use rescue cd every time something is broken.
Unclear why exactly we do have support in separate /usr.
