I do recommend a separate /usr to anyone. It's *not* safe to say that,
and I know many people that agree with me. To me, it has, and still is,
the best choice. You have no rights to arbitrary decide what should
be/was/will be the recommended configuration. Your choice is not more
valid than mine, and (computer) science isn't about majorities anyway.

Sure but Debian Installer defaults are. End point.

In most general cases nowadays, we *do* have huge disks. Just have a
look into what's available in the marketplace. If you lack space in one
of the default partitions, you can resize using LVM anyway.

New users will think LVM is something to eat with bread or similar. This is mostly as if I starting to try to convince to use Awesome WM as default desktop install because I think it is more user-friendly (and it is, for my type of use, but not for general use).

I do think you ought to stop to try to push your personal opinion too hard... it is clear on this thread that most people do not agree with you so lets go ahead and move topic.
