You can lvm resize a standalone /usr by booting single user (I've done it when my /usr got too small). In addition getting rid of a standalone /usr will break existing configurations. It would break mine, for instance, because I partitioned my hard drive based on the knowledge that /usr could be a separate filesystem. What about nfs-served /usr?
