And more to the point, /usr isn't supposed t be needed until you are past the point of mounting all filesystems so you can boot from something tiny. Doesn't modprobe need its files earlier than that?
I think that a lot of these objections are addressed here:
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/separate-usr-is-broken/
Ummm, 'addressed' by pointing out that a whole bunch of the changes fedora has made break things that are expected to work in unix-like systems. I fail to see how that helps with the problem.
And the text contains several weaknesses. I've personally checked the statement for the 23 dependencies from udev rules to /usr in Fedora 15. Maybe my Fedora 15 was something strange but there was none dependency inside.
And for me it's ok to blame the small environment in / for some special udev rules they might exist somewhere. But a solution would be a staged Udev, which would be simple to solve.
A small problem, a small solution.
The other "arguments" have the same quality. To have a /usr on a central NFS server doesn't seem to be a case for such idiots.
The binary size of systemd is now more than 1.1 MB - for a central service which will kill your system if it's not rock solid. For a comparison: an apache web server is less than 500 kB.
