  In my opinion, install CD/DVDs are one case in which the merge makes
sense, as you inevitably have a single filesystem on the media anyway. 
This does not prevent installing an unmerged filesystem, neither makes
doing so any more complicated.  That I know of, no installer cares what
the install media filesystem layout is like when they configure the
target filesystem.  The target filesystem can use the same filesystem of
separate ones for /, /usr, /var, /boot and/or /home and set them up as
RAID, LVM or dm-crypt regardless of the install media FS layout.
