I object on the ground that I routinely make a separate /usr partition in order to avoid encrypting gigabytes of binaries. My partitioning scheme usually is: sda1 -> /boot sda2 -> /usr sda3 -> encrypted LVM with everything else This scheme makes a significant difference for things like starting up eclipse or OO.org on an underpowered laptop (or, really, any laptop under battery power). Since portables is where FS encryption most useful, getting rid of /usr will make it significantly more difficult for me to conserve power and not waste it on needlessly encrypting/decrypting binaries.
