The idea behind leaving the last cylinder free is that you could in theory copy cyl 0 plus the Linux mini disk onto another pack, starting from cylinder 1. That would allow for the same trick to be played in a 2nd level system. But I don't know whether many people test Linux in 2nd level VM systems. You certainly would not do for performance, and you might also miss out on some of the hardware facilities that Linux can exploit.
