Perhaps we should follow what SGI and Sun has done for years on its
workstations: a combined / + /var + /usr.  We would make it 15GB and be
done with it.  My laptop has a combined /+/var+/usr of 12GB and I have
multiple kernels installed and room in swap for a crashdump.

No need to reply you hate this idea - just one opinion that there are
other partitioning schemes (especially now that we have a dynamic /)
successfully used.
