I don't see any reason for splitting them and I don't think admins should
split partition without a reason. It just makes more problems with full
filesystems, this thread describes the case :)
I see good reason for separate /var and /home (different mount options,
using quota) and in some cases for separate /boot (root on LVM, or bios
incapable of addressing big disks), but separate /usr is rarely a usefull
option.
afaik separate /usr was intentionally used long time ago, when systems were
booting from small (even floppy) disks, where small root with basic
utilities was mounted (drivers loaded), and then /usr was mounted with
necessary options.
