Hrm, okay, so it's for Linux only. Raise your hands, how many of you create Linux installs with /usr as a separate filesystem? Probably most, if not all, of you.

It's almost as if developers today don't understand the differences between /bin, /usr/bin, and /usr/local/bin.

A system should be able to boot to single-user mode without touching anything under /usr.

A system should be able to boot to multi-user mode, in a non-GUI mode, without touching anything under /usr.

Going graphical, /usr/* is fair game.

Alas, it's almost like Linux devs are being taught by Windows devs (everything under C:\Windows aka everything under /usr).
