Me neither, why are we making things so complicated and inflexible?
My partition scheme is as follows:
1.5 GB /
Rest /vol/0
/home is a link to /vol/0/_home.
If you need extra space some time later, for example for /usr/local,
make /usr/local a link to /vol/0/_local.
If you want to prevent that users (or runaway programs run by users) can
fill up entire partitions, use quota. As for runaway daemons filling up
the entire partition, well really, how often does that happen?
Of course for a lot of situations the above scheme is unthinkable, but
for a home pc...
