Perhaps not hard for the non-livecd-install case.  But as the livecd installer 
currently works by copying an ext3 image file, instead of a format and 
file-level copy, that will be a bit more work.  Though in a discussion about 
optimizing that process, Jeremy Katz did mention he might be looking into 
implementing that, as an improvement for the case when /usr is on a separate 
partition.  Which would also be what would be needed for the non-ext3 (xfs) case.
