You are entering religion. I despise, HIGHLY DESPISE, all the
partitions. I don't care for the fragmentation and PITA when upgrading
it leads to. HP and SGI workstations have a single huge /. Why do you
need /usr seperate from / when you aren't diskless (or /usr'less)? Look
at the historic reasons for this division and see if it still makes sense
to you today. (and before someone misreads this, yes, my /home is a
seperate partition and my /tmp is MFS)
