Description Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev

We are approaching the dates of systemd stopping to support splitted usr setups. I think that it would be interesting then to progressively offer "systemd | merged usr" with more visibility than splitted ones. For systemd maybe it could even make sense to stop providing the splitted_usr versions. Currently I need to go to find them in the "Advanced" section:
https://www.gentoo.org/downloads/

Another consequence is that if I want, for example, a desktop_profile stage3, I need to use the splitted_usr version and later migrate (not a big deal... but a bit annoying to do just after installing the system).

I don't know for openRC stages as I am not sure about their plans to keep defaulting to splitted usr setups :/

Thanks a lot

Upcoming 23.0 profiles are currently merged-usr by default (unless using the opt-out 23.0/*/split-usr), so eventually everything will be the same unless we offer the opt-out.

    Switch systemd images to mergedusr
    
    In bug #917143, we stopped building non-merged-usr stage3s following the
    2022-12-01-systemd-usrmerge news item a while prior, as upstream systemd
    no longer support non-merged-usr.
    
    The stages for systemd w/ non-merged-usr are no being built, so the last one
    we picked up was stage3-amd64-systemd-20231210T170356Z.tar.xz (and so on).
    
    Switch all systemd images accordingly to merged-usr.
