In the past this was my partition scheme:

Having /usr separate from the root file system is no longer recommended or supported.
Are you sure that's true? Reading the latest EL6 docs I have the impression it's recommended to put /usr on the same disk where / and /boot are. That's a good rule but I don't think it's meant to run without /usr.

Do not place /usr on a separate partition
If /usr is on a separate partition from /, the boot process becomes much more complex, and in some situations (like installations on iSCSI drives), might not work at all.
