           Summary: Recommended Partitioning Scheme suggests far too small
                    root partition

suggests 10gb for the / partition, this seems far too small for a modern Fedora
system.

On one of my F27 machines my root partition is 40gb and 80% full.

On a second F27 machine with a separate /var partition I have a 20gb root
partition, which is 70% full, and another 25-40gb used in the /var partition.

Neither of those would fit in 20gb, let alone 10gb.

(I use these machines for development and package maintenance, but all sources
and builds are done in /home and /var/lib/mock which are separate partitions,
so I don't think my large root partitions are especially atypical.)

Should the recommendation be updated to something more realistic?
