Sorry -- you didn't beat the reaper.
The whole POINT of /usr/bin is that the root filesystem's /bin didn't
have room for all the Unix binaries. Why else would there even BE a
/usr/bin, /usr/include, /usr/lib, etc? The division between /bin and
/usr/bin and between /lib and /usr/lib would not have been worth the
trouble if everything fit in the root filesystem.
AT&T Unix from V7 (at least) mounts /usr. Some others mount /u.
