Just a quick and unimportant comment:

Under the old default with a small / and a large /usr, it had the
side-effect of working around BIOS IDE addressing limitations on old PC's.
The kernel would get placed in / which happened to be near enough to the
beginning of the disk that it could be bootstrapped.

Cheers,

Ben
