Just to add fuel to the fire, I'll note that among the
benefits listed is this gem:

    Improved compatibility with current upstream development: In 
    order to minimize the delta from your Linux distribution to
    upstream development the /usr merge is key.

If upstream signifies freedesktop.org (and who else could it
be?) I think this is a pretty frank expression of their
