BTW, last month Lennart Poettering began a discussion on
fedora-devel-list about deprecating /usr completely, i.e. symlinking it
to /:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2009-April/msg01063.html
It seems that most of the arguments on that thread against that change
were "but we won't be able to mount /usr separately that way!". I'm no
Fedora expert, but it sounds like it is actually a supported
configuration in Fedora.
