As a newcomer to FreeBSD but a greybeard in the unix world, can I
politely ask why FreeBSD seems intent on making /usr a writable
partition? In another thread, someone reports that the user guide
recommends locating /tmp and /var on /usr. I believe I've seen
recommendations to supply users' home directories in the /usr
partition, too. (The default installation script sets you up
without a /home partition.) What's the rationale for this? Isn't
readonly /usr (and /, if possible) a Good Thing anymore?
