I beg to differ on that, to me it seems it has all the sound rationale it 
needs, to for example understand why /bin should have commands that are needed 
during early boot, before /usr gets mounted.

Thus FHS is not only a summary of current practice but also a guide to 
understand why that practice got adopted, what been the rationale, and what 
are the impacts when you deliberately ignore and deviate from such practice, 
by for example symlinking /s?bin/ to /usr/s?bin or not keeping commands needed 
during early boot in /s?bin

Poettering clearly understood the implications and outright rejected the 
rationale, by claiming nowadays it wasn't modern anymore to have a small root-
fs and a separate partition for /usr
