The issue of separate /usr partition was discussed by Gentoo leaders
over three years ago, and a similar decision was made.

Have a look at Gentoo Council Meeting:

https://projects.gentoo.org/council/meeting-logs/20130924.txt

You can find some other details about it in my posts starting (and a lot
more about systemd, surely you're all already familiar with some of the
links that I used there, like Christopher Barry's... Christopher, are
you following this Devuan ML? I know you did... you are missed here, and
you open letter should be made an obligatory read for newbies to FOSS
GNU Linux somehow):
Why is Gentoo not switching to systemd?

(the link is:
Open letter to the Linux World

)
,

And allow me to say just one thing, you'll see why.

), changed his attitude very much later on, and I got his very kind post
as kind of farewell before I was banned (I hope not my permanent
condition) from Gentoo Forums:

Pls., Devuan moderators, in the future, never easily ban people from
Devuan! It's bad... A moderator must never, never act for being just
personally affected, and that is mostly the case when banning occurs
(don't know what exactly happened here, not saying about here, but
generally). And you never know how valuable supporter you are really
losing, and what the insuing damage will be...
