You are one of very few that feel this way.

The dev only thought about himself and the distro he uses.  He 
apparently didn't consider how what he is doing is going to affect 
others or he would have done something better.  People have already 
explained what should be done so there is a better way to do this 
without breaking things.

It is breaking it.  Why you can't see that is beyond me.  It has already 
been said what is supposed to be required for booting and /usr and 
possibly /var is not on the list.
