The reason I know is for emergencies.. So that /usr/ can be on a
different fs so you can boot without mounting it (when it's damaged) and
fix things because all you really need (which isn't much then) is
outside /usr/..
AAMOF I have one large / because I don't care about booting from CD to
do recovery.
Also, a separate /usr/ would be very handy on The Hurd which, after all,
doesn't even support >1GB partitions.. You really want as many
partitions as possible then. ;-)
