You quoted a hypothical question I posed[1] which follows directly on
from something I described in the previous paragraph. You should really
retain context in what you decide to snip, as you have changed the
entire meaning and intent of what I said and asked.
[1] The question was literally an RFC - a request for people to
comment. I have no strict engineering or configuration need for /
and /usr to be separate; I know of one setup configuration that
requires it, I asked who needs it for different reasons and
why - not as a debate point, but as a learning point.
Does that sufficiently answer the thought that prompted you to reply?
