LOL! You're missing the most important part: across different fs and
partition layouts.
Look, the pyramids were built before the last century, but that doesn't mean
we should try to balance them upside down if they work fine as they are.
Clearly different use cases have different requirements and correspondingly
different optimal solutions. Can I please keep my bin/sbin directories
separate and ditto for /usr and its subbies? :-)
