While that is true, quite a few of the distro installers put  home in
the root vg unless you do a custominstall.   And the rest if you are
not paying attention will  start out with a  root vg and a home vg, but
the act of making changes causes the home vg to disappear.
Yes,  I've been bitten many a times thinking I've got  separate vgs set
up for root and home only tofind out after everything is installed that
I only have a root vg.
