WHY? You don't need /usr on a separate partition anymore.
I'm aware that a separate /usr is only optional. Personal I do not use a separate /usr partition. Nevertheless I know customers using such /usr partition to minimize downtime due e.g. file system problems.
Wouldn't it be better to fix the real problem instead?
Hmmm ... one real solution would be that udevd would delay request for tools located below /usr (like some tools for alsam blutooth and other tools which are excuted before /usr is mounted) id not mounted. Also zypper could check if a directory touched by an rpm is located on a ro mounted partition to temporary remount this partition rw.
The first approach would avoid the problems which Kay may has seen as udev maintainer in his bug reports I guess.
The second approach would also support a ro mounted root file system with some mount points for the remaining rw data. Why make /usr special? I want all static data on / to be ro.
