Except for one thing. If you change config files in /etc or /var then you tend to loose them when you upgrade, or wipe and reinstall, and you forget what changes you made and might want to redo.
I create a smallish /usr/local partition and a /home partition. The /usr/local partition is then subdir'd with etc, var, var/named, etc. and any changed config files get mv'd into there and symlinked back to where they came from. That way I don't lose my dhcpd.conf or named files when I do a wipe and reinstall.
