So, given the choices of:
1. Re-establishing FHS standards so that I can boot with / only.
2. Consolidating everything under /usr so that just about all
OS-managed files are in a single place.
3. Stuffing everything in /usr into my root partition.
I'd say that #3 is the worst of all possible worlds. At least there
is some kind of expected benefit from the /usr move. Sure, you COULD
shove everything into root, but I can't think of anybody in this
debate who would consider that a useful solution.
Go read the Fedora reasons-for-the-/usr-move page. Whether you think
it is worth it or not is one thing, but at least there are reasons for
it. I can't think of any benefits from doing the reverse.
