There's a > discussion about it starting at about this message -8<- The reason for these mount points is that some UNIX utilities depend on the existance of /usr/bin and/or /usr/lib. With out these the utilities will fail to work. Knowing this, and not wanting to create duplication, it was decided to just create mount points of the physical directories. If you remove them (and you have the right to do so), then you risk not being able to run some utilities.
