(It is often a religious debate.)

I try to have a /, /usr, /var, and /tmp on each install, however,
I have on occasion install only one large /. I lean that way
towards desktop and test systems. I always install one large /
on a new OS, because I have no idea what directory tree will be
consuming the most space. On an OS/distro/purpose that I am more
familiar with, I am more likely to be meticulous about how the
filesystem sizes are allocated.
