/usr to / does not allow any new features, while / to /usr allows
implementing new features like creating OS snapshots at file system
level (something which Fedora already supports) or a real complete OS

I see no compelling reasons to create standalone file systems for the other directories, which are small and static. -- ciao, Marco
