My opinion is different.
You should have several mount points, at least separate ones for /usr,
/tmp and /var.
The advantage is that if one partition gets destroyed, you lose only that
partition.
The apparent disadvantage of running out of space in one mount point is
not a real disadvantage, because you can always move subdirectories to
another partition, and symlink to it from the original (and full)
partition.
