Oh I bet there are *some* people still running separate / and /usr
without an initramfs or a livecd who still need to be able to mount / so
they can repair /usr. Buuuut. As none of the major distros
(suse/rhel/debian/anything with systemd) support separate /usr anymore,
it's probably no great loss.
