I usually leave the /home and /boot directories on / for VM systems, which I 
use only for testing.  I have no personal data on these systems and only use 
them to test OS or apps and particular configurations with them.  On 
installations which I use on personal laptops/desktops I always have /var, /
home, /boot on separate partitions for good reasons already mentioned.  
However, each to their own.  :-)
