I'm sorry but the installer denying /usr on its own partition on F17 is
the right thing to do.  I believe F17 introduced something called
usr-move, meaning all the binaries in /bin /sbin are actually
hardlinks/symlinks to /usr/bin and /usr/sbin.  I believe this was a
multi-distribution effort.  In such a configuration, there is no
justification or gain of putting it in a separate partition, on top of
that the booting process becomes quite complicated.
