But the question that begs to be asked is why are common configurations
like NFS-root and separate /var and /usr filesystems STILL not part of
Ubuntu's standard QA processes?

These are not entirely "esoteric" configurations you know and they have
been shown to have problems in past releases so why are current QA
processes not testing for these?

You do understand that effective QA means that when a configuration is
shown to have a potential for regressions that such a configuration be
added to the battery of tests that QA runs. It's simply not effective
to identify a configuration that doesn't work, (think that you have)
fix(ed) it and simply move on and not ever test that configuration again
during a regular release cycle. That's exactly how regressions leak
into GA product. It's embarrassing.
