Leaving the swap argument aside, my biggest objection to this is the
lack of support for Live Upgrade.  If you are going to use LU, (and why
wouldn't you?) you have to have a spare root slice.  Dividing the drive
into two equal slices is a bit daft, so you end up with a minimum of
four slices, swap, root, spare root and /export/home.
