I did that for years.

Then again, when I started doing that, I was using PLIP over a
null-printer cable.  But even after I could afford larger harddrives
(so I had room to install /usr), and Ethernet cards (and later a hub),
I still ran /usr over NFS.

Personally, I'm rather saddened by usrmerge.  But, such is life.
