You and I are on the same page, but you didn't read what I wrote
quite carefully enough. I said "It is presently not possible, in
general..."
You gave an example which corroborates what I wrote. I didn't say
or mean to imply that it's impossible, just not possible in general.

We agree completely. I posed the same argument over on Fedora (I happen
to use a version of Fedora on one of my machines), and was thoroughly
shot down. It would take "major moves". BS, but nonetheless, Fedora
has no, repeat, no intention to support separately mounted /usr.

We agree here completely. However, it -is- going to take some
work to make (B)LFS and udev cooperate with a separately mounted
/usr.
I don't think a lot of work, but work nonetheless.
So, since anyone building LFS as presently constituted, needs to
be aware, when planning his file system layout, that it's not quite
able to support /usr being separately mounted.
