If you remember older releases came as tar balls which allowed me to determine where I wanted the software and create a file system ahead of time. Since it started using RPMs, I can no longer build a server and create all of the file systems ahead of time, because how will I know if they decide to move it next week? next month? next year?
Some of the directories have always been configurable - log file directory, database directory - so those could be changed to a different filesystem, even in the old format - not during setup, but afterwards. And those are the file systems which you will usually have to worry about, in terms of performance and having enough space.

Thanks,
