About five sites are 'root' sites. That is, sites developed by company staff. The rest (and there's more than a few) are generic websites that we host for various people, varying from simple .html and jpeg types in ~/public_html/ to php/mysql wonders with proper domains. The only other things that appear in home directories are the mbox files for the IMAP servers (something I wish I'd actually thought about). Most people have shell access, but few use it. Given your development method, I see nothing wrong with the way you intend to do. Your partition seems fine, although it's probably not worth having such a large / partition if you are going to separate out /usr/. Without /var, /usr, /home, and /tmp, the entire / partition will probably weigh in at less than 40 MB, unless you have some truly large files in /etc/.
