OK, this is something I've been meaning to ask about - who
still uses network /usr, and why do you use that instead of
network / ?
It's not only a network /usr. It is an issue with the traditional
splitting of /, /usr and /var too. These filesystems can not be used
by init but must be made available by it (which is a non-trivial task
because it requires e.g. module-loading, fsck or lvm setup).
