I will note that the "default" filesystem layout selected by the F8 installer (anaconda version) is *not* quite as robust as it could be.

It seems too much like another commercial OS in that it only makes two filesystems (boot and root) and crams everything together in root. This requires the user to make full backups at upgrade time.
Not really. You can use a backup tool that lets you pick directories to backup, and just back up the required parts of the tree, whether they're separate partions, or not.
