People just don't like change for the sake of change, and haven't been
shown any benefits yet. I don't have a separate /usr anywhere, but if I
did, I would have to rebuild and test a good number of custom kernels
that would eventually need to wind up on production servers.
It would take a least a day's worth of work, not to mention staying late
to make the switch overnight. If you can offer me something cool for it,
great; but at the moment people are being offered "it will work the same
as it did yesterday," which sucks, because it works that way now.
Sure, there will be improvements in the future, but it can feel a lot
like treading water sometimes.
