seriously, you have seemed to miss some news. There is a move by redhat&co to
move almost everything from / to /usr. With nothing left than some mountpoints
- why put / on its own partition? There is nothing to contain apart from /etc.
Your sarcasm fails because you think that there is an intrinsic reason to keep
/ seperate. Well, with / filled with usefull binaries to bring a hosed system
back from the garbage pile that was true for some peole. But with the current
movement there isn't anything there at all.
