If you read the entire commit message, you'll see:

Don't recommend /usr as a mount point anymore (#643640).
You can still use it if you really want (by inputting it manually), but
the Installation Guide recommends against its use.
In other words, you can still use any mount point you want.
I did read that, which is why I added the reference to Bug #626007
(trimmed from your reply), which is where this change originated from;
that is a bug that is being ignored on the basis that /usr is on a
separate partition.
I'm fine with setting up my own partitioning arrangements but I'd rather
not see a system that doesn't work once installed this way.
