It is an especially viable way of doing it for small systems that won't be handling lots of file growth. But, there are reasons, especially on bigger systems for dividing things up.

It can also help make backups easier to manage. > > I may have started a flame war, but for my small installs, it works just fine. No need for a flame war.
