What are the benefits of separate /usr and /var? I can think of two:
1) one partition getting full doesn't affect the rest of the system
2) hard links aren't possible across partitions

Are there others? Disk quota could help with 1), and is 2) really a
great benefit on the desktop?

The big one is that when you reinstall (which every fedora user should have done 8 times already with no end in sight), you can tell the installer not to format your /home partition and keep your own data.
