Yes, that major benefit that is completely broken by design and
unsupported anyway, because /etc and /var can also easily get out
of sync. If you rely on this then you are on your own anyway…
Also nothing prevents sharing /usr with symlink farms, iff all systems
are in sync, which they must anyway.
So that argument is pretty void of substance and founded on a base
of unreliability… but what's new.
