*I* mean that your reading o the FHS is too strict. How could a /usr partition 
be read-only during a yum update, for example?

A read-only partition, in my understanding, and i my personal practices, is 
read-only BUT during installation/upgrade/re-configuration, that is during 
any administration stage.

I agree: X11 as nothing to do with the current thread.

I still agree. The FHS wording is clear, but your interpretation seems strange 
to me.

Please, do you personally have read-only partitions on your machines? How 
could you administrate them without remounting them read-write temporarily?
