This despite the FHS says (right at the top of Chapter 3, the Root
Filesystem):
/usr, /opt, and /var are designed such that they may be located on other
partitions or filesystems.
Neat.
Do we *really* want to head this way, ignoring bugs resulting from
having /usr on a different partition such as
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/#626007, which is what led to this?

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.
