This was one of the things I mentioned earlier. I have had systems that have separate / and /usr, and others that have one big /. I don't mind so much that / and /usr are on the same partition by default, but I don't want to see us go to one big '/'. That does cause more problems than it solves (and makes it impossible to do fastish boots by kicking the fsck into the back ground). However, I've had occasion to have systems where / and /usr need to be separate partitions, so as long as we don't require them to be on the same partition, I'd say go for it. I suspect, however, that we'll find that crash recovery really is a big factor since /usr does get written to on every man command that generates a new man page...
