Because if some process starts spewing log entries left-and-right, only
your /usr/log partition fills up rather than your entire /usr partition.
You can also make your /usr partition read-only this way, which can
function as another step in security/safety-hardening a system.

Seems like if I download an .iso using Firefox to my home dir, it
temporarily stores it in /tmp, meaning I have to have enough free space
in /tmp to get the full .iso.
