Well, the "always always always" part is purely my opinion, but it's
worked for me in the past.  Other people might argue that putting
various parts of the system on different partitions is pointless 'cos it
causes pain if you ever outgrow a part (you'd need to repartition).

The problem is everyone has a different opinion as to what's right.
