The amount has changed pretty significantly over time. I actually set up my machines with a separate /home and am lucky that I get new machines pretty frequently -- otherwise, I'd be running out of space on upgrades :-) Also, you have to take into account disks that aren't "huge" or people who are dual booting and don't want to dedicate 30+ gigs to Linux.
