It seems to give away some margin for error. My department keeps
/home on a separate drive from everything else. Needless to say, it gets
rather ... interesting ... when that drive is unavailable. I guess that's
the motivation for having /home be on your boot partition - if the machine
boots, your home directory is pretty well assured to be available.
