Last time I heard those were mostly > hacks and laziness. Here's one: ability to share disk space automatically between /usr and /home (implication: must be same filesystem; useful because these are the two largest filesystems in most of my installs; substitute /var if you prefer for servers), ability to take consistent backups without stopping activity (implication: /home must be on LVM for snapshots; implication: /usr must also be on LVM due to sharing filesystem with /home), ability to not use an initramfs (implication: root must not be on LVM). Unless you'd like to suggest a better way to achieve all three of these goals?
