I've heard this quite a few times in my career, but there aren't too many
still around. I think the last one that stuck was splitting /usr into /usr

Why do people want to fix what ain't broke?
Well, maybe it *is* broke, but everyone's used to the workarounds and
inconsistencies, and no-one else wants to rock the boat by suggesting a
more sensible way to do it...
I don't know the history, so this is just speculation.
