Has that changed?
Oops, yeah the installer is using this: https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/blivet.git/tree/blivet/devicelibs/swap.py So for most people I suspect swap = memory, but could be either twice memory or half memory. > >> /, /boot, /home can all go on the SSD so they don't even need to be separate >> partitions.

On a smaller drive like an SSD, it can be a fit to then figure out how much space to reserve for /home and / rather than just having that limited space be combined between them, and dealing with /home migration some other time. There's some chance with a reinstall that the layout will change also. Another approach the blends both, is Btrfs subvolume for /home and /, which means they share the storage pool but are also essentially separate file systems.
