Hi,

Luca, I hope you don't mind me CC'ing you on this mail, but I'd like to 
check I've understood your objections to Helmut's plan correctly.

Helmut wants systemd to stop making a /lib64 -> /usr/lib link on arm64. 
As I understand it, your objections to that are:

1) Removing this link may break some container workflows
2) Systemd upstream rejected the change
3) dracut (where Helmut found this issue) is not an official bootstrap 
tool, and the problem doesn't occur when using initramfs-tools

Is that correct?

Regards,

Matthew
