This is a bit nicer. I really hate all those extra folders in the root directory.

However, here's the next question. If we get rid of separately-mounted /usr then we should as hell have something to replace it.

The current initramfs-based infrastructure just doesn't cut it (even in Dracut). It's way too complex to manage. What if I want to have a LDAP client in initramfs?

Hm. Why not treat initramfs as a small separate installation?.. It can even be managed using chroot'ed package managers. Hmmm...
