AFAIK "remote /usr" idea was born many years ago, when hard drive sizes
was too small. Nowadays this has no sense anymore.

And from management/administration view sharing /usr between many servers
isn't significantly help because most complexity in administration is
updating /etc, not /usr.

Probably I miss something important but I've no idea how "remote /usr" can
make administration easier nowadays...
