Aren't /usr/bin and /usr/sbin and /usr/lib supposed to house **only**
binaries and respective libraries that are **not** required for
boot-up? If so, then the right solution would be to move those
required binaries to /bin, /sbin.

Not supporting a separate /usr would be a major setback for systemd, IMO.
