The original purpose of the /usr merge in Solaris was to make managing updates easier. Redhat realized that and copied it.

You're tying the whole thing too much to solaris/rh ways. The benefits for us are far less than for them and managing updates via everything in /usr is certainly out of scope of the current proposal.
