First, you'd need a RO bind mount (yes, it exists, but your command doesn't do it). Second, the filesystem is still RW, so it gains you very little as far as data safety goes. A separate /usr *is* the way to go if you don't want any writes in that filesystem 99.9% of the time (i.e. when you're not doing an upgrade). -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
