I believe that by the time I installed Gentoo it was recommended on the installation handbook. I did not give it much thought. I believed back then that thanks to LVM I could always grow and shrink my partitions as needed. If I had to do it again I would probably go the btrfs route (once they get fsck working). Regarding the whole /usr discussion, I trust the developers to know what they are doing better than I do and I did not find any serious flaw on their reasoning. It took me just a couple of hours to get the initrd working, so I did it and moved on. On the other hand I can understand some people disagree. I do not have a problem with that.
