Thank you for a reasoned posting - one comment here about the issue of /usr on a separate partition - if you put /usr on a separate partition and then made a bind mount to / would that not work? I have not tried it though!
I have been doing this for /home which is a directory /opt/home and /opt is a separate partition - I then bind mount it to /home as a directory in the root partition. It has never given a problem so I wondered if the analogous technique might work for /usr too?
This is a side comment and I am not trying to subvert the main thread discussion here.
