Neat.

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

commit 1ae53648c9e3460eb63837b4c20bc860018979f0

    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.
