How efficient is mounting /usr ro?



Hi,
The Securing Debian manual suggest one should set the /usr partition to
ro and use remount when you install new programs. 
I was just wondering how much security one gains with this. Wouldn't
most hackers go after the programs in the /bin and /sbin directories
anyway?

Thanks for any input.
