I've never lost my huge / on my main desktop and NFS server. And since I run -CURRENT, I crash or deadlock weekly (since the past year) for one reason or another. Same for my Alpha's with 1.5GB /'s (and you've probably heard me cry how unstable they have been in 2001 also). I agree with you that /var/tmp seems to be too controversial. But there does seem to be some support for a (A)uto /home, in order to allow better sizing of /usr (and reduce the only "default" thing that causes constant writes to /usr).
