Regarding separate /usr and /var: the advantage is that you can
keep /usr read-only which is also important for security reasons

Hi David,
I like the idea of having /usr/home better, becaus
Hi,
In the old days home was typically a separate partition that was
mounted on /home. If you didn't have a partition the installer would
create /usr/home and symlink /home to it. The root was also typically
an independent partition, so it made sense not to clutter it up with
home directories.
