Ack, then we could put that in the doc, that /usr on a network based
filesystem (or blockdevice such as iscsi) is not supported with NM, or
whatever. I'm not trying to say what we should put in such a doc, this
is just an example. I'm merely trying to argue we need a Document
describing what we do and do not support wrt to having a separate /usr

Think for example something weird like /usr on fuse, do we want to support
that? Note that given the infinite amount of possibilities it is probably
the best to only describe what we do support.
