I think you have tunnelvision. Have you sampled the default schemes of any
other distros lately?

I can't imagine a newbie not welcoming the intelligence of a separate /home
when they blindly reinstall after screwing something up, like an upgrade to a
newer version 6 months later, shortly followed by trying again with reformat
of /. You think most people, particularly the clueless, actually have backups
of their personal data? If you do I think you're dreaming of utopia.
