Heh. Good sigmonster... 

Perhaps you'd like to explaint that to my boss? -- I'm 
currently maintaining four mirrors[0].

I could come up with any number of reasons to not have "real 
work stuff" under /home on a server.

Not to mention certain software products, like e.g. Oracle.
Sure you can have its database under /home, but /u0? is a much 
better place for it. For many reasons.

[0] FVO "maintaining" = checking FS usage every now and again; 
the rest is done by cron, of course. Still, I'm "officially
responsible" for them...
