I'd rather we show extra care towards Fedora developers who are still

You have thousands or tens of thousands of hardlinked files in /usr today.

See:

find /usr -links +1 -type f

The only way I can make sense of your objection is if I assume you misunderstood the proposal as forcing /usr to be read-only. It does no such thing.
