I strongly disagree; I've been thinking about this a lot over the
weekend. Having a separate /home partition improves the chances of
your data surviving a disaster enormously.
It means, for example, that in case of disaster you can even to a
complete reinstall without losing your personal data. The point is
that keeping system files (i.e. OS and other files from Red Hat) on a
separate filesystem from your own files is far, far safer.
