Comment # 28 on bug 1093372 from Petr Mladek

I am sorry but am I the only one who thinks that do not creating a separate
/home on desktop system is a bit insane?

I consider separate /home as one crucial feature. I have some configuration 15
years and it still works. I have a lot of my important data that I need to
preserve.

Ludwig arguments was that the separate home does not make sense on servers
(comment #19). It might be true. But who are the primary Leap users?

The bug was reported for openQA that runs on limited space. Is 20GB really a
common setup?

For example, I have installed leap 42.3. The system takes 13.5GB. And I have
more than 300GB of personal data on the separate /home:

pmladek@linux:~> df
Filesystem                  1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2                    30830588   9740932  20051636  33% /sda2
/dev/sda5                   422316032 305958096 113901908  73% /home

I would really cry and shout if I lose my personal data when a system is
completely messed and I have to reinstall it.

I am sorry but I do not  believe into always working updates. Even snapshots
does not help when your system is messed by packages from many different and
suddenly incompatible repositories which is another openSUSE "feature".
