I second this, I find this solution great for dual booting stable and unstable. In this case, if an update caused Gutsy to stop functioning - I could revert to Feisty until a fix is made available. I suggested a minimal "/" and the bulk for "/home" to somebody a few months ago, and he had the argument that making them separate "Wasn't right for everybody". I'm not sure I can see how... but anyway - it makes me happy. Infact, I would really like to see the default installation follow this - as it makes a clean install _much_ easier.
