I think that you'd miss some of the things in /sbin in the early
stages of booting.  It'd be kind of hard to mount /usr, for instance,
if you've moved mount(8) from /sbin to /usr/sbin2.

I'd move /tmp and /var first.  Other than that, most of the stuff on
the root partition is there because it's potentially needed for either
booting or recovery.

to make the commitment.
