In my case I still have /home in /usr/home, but I should start making it 
separate in the hope that I could mount /usr read-only most of the time 
reducing the time it takes to fsck when I crash my test machines.  This is 
peculiar to an environ where one expects to crash a lot though. :)  Even so, 
I would be looking at /, /usr, /var, /tmp, /home, and swap.  Still under 7 
('c' is reserved).
