Nope. It has everything to do with booting. Some packages in /bin
depended on libs in /usr/lib{64} so calling the init script before /usr
is mounted would fail. There's a discussion about this in the devel list
if you search the history for it.

Thanks for setting me straight. Does that mean we're heading back toward separate partitions for everything?
