+Title: Separate /usr now requires an initramfs
+Author: Eli Schwartz <eschwartz93@gmail.com>
+Posted: 2024-01-05
+Revision: 1
+News-Item-Format: 2.0
+Display-If-Installed: sys-apps/baselayout[split-usr]
+
+Systems which have /usr and / on separate filesystems have always required a
+dedicated initramfs to bring up both partitions. Systems where both /usr and /
+are on the same filesystem may use an initramfs if they wish, or choose not
+to.
+
+Historically, Gentoo has tried to make the separate filesystems use case work
+anyway. Despite all our efforts, it is broken and continues to get more broken
+under various configurations. The only workable solution is to support
+separate /usr but only when an initramfs is present. For more details on why
+this is broken, see:

+
+In 2013, Gentoo policy determined that separate /usr without an initramfs was
+officially no longer supported:

+
+11 years later, the support is being withdrawn. On 2024-02-05, we plan to
+begin work on decommissioning existing workarounds and will not accept any
+more.
+
+User Action Required
+====================
+
+If you have separate /usr and are not currently using an initramfs, you have
+until 2024-02-05 to set up an initramfs. If you do not, then at some point on
+or after this date, routine system upgrades will leave your system unbootable.
+
+For details on setting up an initramfs, see:
