The characteristics of /, /usr and /var are quite different,
from a usage and backup requirements perspective:

/ is read-mostly, but contains critical config data.
/usr is read-only, and
/var (/var/mail, /var/mysql, ...) can be high volume read/write.

A scenerio with / on a pair of mirrored USB sticks, /usr on
DVD media with with RAM-based cache and /var & /export/home
on a large wide striped/mirrored/raided pool of its own isn't
too far fetched an idea.
