Summary: Recommended Partitioning Scheme suggests far too small
root partition

suggests 10gb for the / partition, this seems far too small for a modern Fedora
system.
For a minimal installation, a 5 GB root partition will be sufficient.
However, for most common installations which include extra packages and a graphical user
interface, the root partition should be at least 10 GB; with 20 GB being sufficient for
most common use cases.
On one of my F27 machines my root partition is 40gb and 80% full.
On a second F27 machine with a separate /var partition I have a 20gb root
partition, which is 70% full, and another 25-40gb used in the /var partition.
Neither of those would fit in 20gb, let alone 10gb.
(I use these machines for development and package maintenance, but all sources
and builds are done in /home and /var/lib/mock which are separate partitions,
so I don't think my large root partitions are especially atypical.)
Should the recommendation be updated to something more realistic?
