So I can go:

$ find /usr | grep whatamilookingforexactlynow

$ tar cz /usr > /tmp/lunix.tar.gz

$ cat /etc/fstab|grep /usr
nfs4.example.com/lunix/usr/ /usr nfs4 defaults 0 0

etc. etc. :)

Wondering why we keep /usr/bin instead of /bin too

Do you mean that it makes it easier to have local, specific /etc /tmp /var and a global, generic, maybe NFS mounted /usr?
