This is a good idea for small-memory systems.

One complication is that it would be nice to be able to go back and
repartition the disk if you realized that the sets were too big to fit
in the partitioning you chose earlier.  One common way this might
happen is if you interrupt sysinst with a control-C and restart it.

At least we now have swapoff support, so it's not impossible to
recover from this situation..
