The idea, I think, is that the /boot file system, and maybe the /root 
file system, also, are nearly static.
A static file system is a lot less likely to get corrupted.  If a power 
failure, hard drive or memory error,
etc. corrupts the /usr file system, at least you can boot the OS and 
start trying to repair the damage.

I have some systems set up this way.
