Until a user fills up their home directory with kitten gifs and you can
no longer login because syslog has no space to write to /var.

The "everything on slash" mentality is a short-sighted partitioning
workaround that never should have seen the light of day. Many commercial
packages do this as well and those systems give me endless grief when
applications running there either fill up /var or dump endless blobs in
/tmp.
