Not necessarily.  I've seen systems where people allocated the defaults
from the vendor and ended up running low on /usr, etc.  Having /usr
separate was also a pain depending on what was and wasn't dynamically
linked against what at boot.  :(

I've run out of space on a smaller fs before and I've done things like
relocat all of /usr/X11R6 to /home/.X11R6 and symlink over to buy myself
space.

A good many times, it's not so much converts as people that don't actually
know what they're system will necessarily grow out to later on.

With journalling to avoid fsck's, and good backup policies, is it even as
much of an issue these days, that a large single / really -needs- to be
avoided?
