Yes and no - I'm curious as to how this number will change without anaconda
recommending that it's a thing you might want to do. I think there's a
sizeable contention that creates mountpoints out of habbit, not any specific
need or requirement, and it only stands to reason that some people must be
choosing which ones to create based on the list in front of them. It'll
be interesting to see how that number changes once we no longer have it on
anaconda's list - that should show us how many people actually have a
specific desire for /usr to be separate.

That is - Chris's anaconda change may allow us to collect data on just how
many people /usr being separate is *actually* important to. We still won't
know why, though.
