Could someone please explain to me what the average "home" user has for a ridiculous amount of partitions? For the sake of brevity... I already understand the encrypted volumes argument... but I still fail to see why /tmp, /var/tmp/, /opt, /usr, etc need to have their own partitions. The more complex a system is... the more likely it is to fail. Having more than 3 partitions on ANY system other than production servers seems foolish at best. To have it as default on a modern operating system is nothing short of insanity.
