I know you asked Dan, but in fact new Macs have shipped with both on the

coexist on the same partition.

I guess that keeping the OS's on separate partitions on our unsupported machines is to prevent a disaster from destroying our ability to reboot somewhere. Before I ever had X I kept duplicate system folders available on separate drives for emergencies. When important changes came about I had an old O5 in one place with a new system in another place. So the technique remains the same.
