I disagree on that, around 1GB to spare on / seems pretty comfortable unless you're on a small-for-modern-standards disk. A couple of standard kernels at ~25MB each, maybe a kernel with debug symbols (140M-odd), a couple of old ones while investigating problems, /etc/firmware, it adds up, and the files typically on / can't be split out into a second filesystem.
