Yes for me. And in addition to /usr I do prefer to have /usr/local. Also
I have /home, and some place where _users_ web files live mounted as
separate filesystems (with nosuid/sgid and nofollowsymlinks for web
directories). Even though the host is actually a bunch of jails, not
even a single jail...
Just me, humble sysadmin.
