Sigh. This is one of my biggest complaints about modern distributions.
They default to really, really dumb filesystem layouts. It shouldn't
make the slightest bit of difference what fs your root filesystem uses,
because you shouldn't be storing your data on it. There are more than
just religious reasons for me advocating having separate fielsystems
for /var, /usr and so on. There are practical reasons like this, too...
