I like having a /usr partition that doesn't grow.  One less partition
to backup.

If you've ever tried sharing /usr/lib/uucp (with config files in
/usr/lib/uucp) across nfs partitions, you end up doing symlink tricks
anyway, so it's just as well that Sun moved the config files to
/etc/uucp.

Most of the old paths still work (/usr/man, /usr/spool, /usr/adm), so
most users don't notice the change.
