I can hardly imagine not having a private home directory.  It hardly matters
to me whether it's a separate filesystem -- performance and reliability
are concerns for admins.

Likewise it doesn't matter whether it appears at the second level above "/"
or higher.  Nur even the name.  I knew one user who had his Solaris HOME
defined in RACF as his MVS HOME, even though his TSO user ID was
not the lowest qualifier in that path.  RACF, HOME, "~" and getpwuid sort
it all out.  Our admins chose, wisely IMO, to replicate as our OMVS UIDs
the older Solaris UIDs.

Windows appears to take an orthogonal approach.  Instead of a home
directory for each user with Documents, etc. subdirectories there's a
global Documents directory with subdirectories for individual users.
