One of reasons behind usr merge was having complete OS binaries in one location and clear separation of this location from local configuration. It's not something that gives you immediate benefits right now, that's true.
The were separate: /etc contained config, and /bin, /lib{,64} contains binaries.
"root" contains local config stuff as well, since that's where new, local directories live.
I've seen "arch" (OS binaries) be mounted in root and in /usr, and seen arch-specific binaries in /arch/{bin,lib}...
That makes sense to me. We also have long standing /local, and since the 1970s I've deployed & set up systems that have ~/{bin,lib,src,tmp} for each user. We have an /usr/X11R6/ which has the libraries for X11 We have (on my system) an /opt/kde3 We have a /usr/lib/libreoffice/ I don't see a reason why we shouldn't have a tree for stuff that is specific to Suse. -- The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists to adapt the world to himself.
