Thanks but you are talking about another case of NFS appliance which I did
not consider.
For me NFS is helpful in cluster environments where each machine is a
replica of another one and they share the same data.
I don't see that it will give lower security than any other FS in this case.
And the ability export /usr in r/o mode will give higher security than
local /usr mount.
