Sun/ Oracle don't do Linux development (well, Oracle does, but
strcmp("Solaris", "Linux") != 0). The reason for forcing people to have
'all of /usr' available as soon as / is mounted is because "certain
people" consider it Extremely Good Practice[patent pending] to hardcode
/usr-paths in their C code and such programs break in case someone tries
to run them when /usr isn't mounted.

That was the gut behind the original "separate /usr is broken" aka "my
code is broken because - while it works on my laptop - it may fail to
work elsewhere, depending on the physical layout of the filesystem. But
That's Not How III SEEE ITTT !!!!"
