[ale] /usr/share symlink problems?

Things are filling up on my main box here, so I was going to
offload some directories off to another partition and symlink
them back to the root partition.  The candidates are:

/usr/share
/usr/doc
/usr/info
/usr/man

/usr/local is already on a different partition.

I notice that there are lots of consolefonts and so forth in
/usr/share.  Locale settings, terminfo stuff.  Pretty important.
Do you think it would be unwise to symlink this partition from,
say, /mnt/usr2/share to /usr/share?  What problems can you think
of that might arise?
