This is more related to the fact that you can't partition a HP
workstation root disk rather than any technical merit in using
space after your filesystem for swap.

That lack of partitioning means that there is a lack of control
of OS v. spool v. user usage of disk space.  Further, controlling
backups, recoveries, fsck etc is made harder by everything being
in one large filesystem.
