If the diskspace is limited, there often is no available space to host a separate /usr.
The old drive in my gateway was a 4G drive. There was One partition. ;-)=
I do see the need to have all in one partition in many cases.

But there is a diffenrece in having a need and require it. :-)=

&gt;<i> Since you have read the reference, you didn't notice that the option of

</I>
Some of the answers I got here suggested otherwize. if /usr needs to be mounted in order for the system to boot normally. Then have systemd mount it.
I do see that there might be some problems involved in solving it.

&gt;<i> However if one has / and /usr on the same partition, combining /bin, 
</I>&gt;<i> /sbin, /usr/bin and /usr/sbin would certainly be a lot simpler than it 
</I>&gt;<i> is now.
</I>
Yes. I see that, and I see that it can be agood idea to merge /*bin with /usr/*bin

&gt;<i> I never could understand why the complication of separate /bin and /sbin, 
</I>
I still feel that the daemon's executeable's belongs in sbin rather than bin.

&gt;<i> and never appreciated the gymnastics of different commands with  
</I>&gt;<i> the same name to handle root/non-root permissions for certain commands.
</I>
I haven't noticed that. do you have an example?

&gt;<i> To me, avoiding unnecessary complication by design is a big plus.
</I>
Agreed. But don't throw the baby out with the water. ;-)=
