Guessing how much space you'll need in your non /home partitions over
time is difficult. Only you know how your install will be used. That's
why the installer defaults to the easiest thing to guess; How much boot
space you'll need, and how much swap space. However since you know how
your install is going to be used, you are best to make those estimations
and setup your /home as you want it.
Fedora Live CD target audience are desktop users, right? I as a
desktop user haven't seen any need for / partiton over 8-10 GB.
Servers, and other fedora usages may need some other partition schemes
but a default home user has huge benefits from a dedicated /home
partition.
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. There's a bug (don't remember the # offhand) with some
discussion of what some of the proper ratios might be, but there
continues to not be closure on what is "right"

Why only /home ( if this path should be taken )..
I think the current setup is the right one, the experienced end user can
change the
partition layout if he wants to do so and the novice end users never has
to worry about
resizing his /home partition because Anaconda or himself configured it
to small to begin with
When his ( novice end user ) disk is full it's full.... It's better to
give him a full cakes than to thin slices :)
