Writing to /usr, apart from everything under /usr/local, is something  
that was never supported under OS X (although it was possible with  
root permissions), and in fact should never be done on any Unix  
platform (unless you want to hack the system for one reason or  
another, which could be perfectly legitimate).

All of those files and directories "belong" to the operating system  
and could be changed/overwritten with any OS upgrade.
