I usually leave the /home and /boot directories on / for VM systems, which I use only for testing. I have no personal data on these systems and only use them to test OS or apps and particular configurations with them. On installations which I use on personal laptops/desktops I always have /var, / home, /boot on separate partitions for good reasons already mentioned. However, each to their own. :-)
