I understand that it is dynamic. The devision is 1/3 2/3. This means that
on a 60GB drive you have 20GB / and 40GB /home. In my case where I have
installed the development stuff and the kernel source and some extra other
stuff, I am wasting an extra 10GB on a 60GB. Having 5GB unused is
something I could accept. 15GB is a real waste.
It was clear from the beginning that it won't be ideal for everybody. So
unless there is a new way to calculate, especially for the smaller drives,
I am against it.
There will indeed be people who install extra large software things. If you
compare it to how many people will waste that extra 10GB, I think it is a
fair tradeoff.
