My motto: keep it as simple as possible, and when you start installing multiple versions/distros etc.... too much of a split gets confusing pretty fast. I see no real advantage to splitting out /opt, /usr, /var, or even /tmp.
For a workstation, sure. With servers it's very different. You might want /var mounted sync and noatime because you're running a mail server, a seperate disk for /var/log, /tmp nodev and nosuid for security reasons, /usr and /opt ro to minimize downtime because of an fsck, etc. -- -ckm
