Regarding separate /usr and /var: the advantage is that you can
keep /usr read-only which is also important for security reasons
since modifying system binaries becomes less easy.

Furthermore, you can NFS share a read-only /usr among many
similar machines, while /var is a per-machine specific read-write
area.
