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.
