I think we are all forgetting that the reason Sun introduced /usr
in the first place was to permit / to be NFS mounted as a result
of a network boot, and shared -- therefore, read-only.
Sun had several configurations:
o Fully NFS
o Fully local
o NFS everything but swap ("dataless")
o NFS everyuthing but swap and user data ("workstation")
