I can't really see any reason to have anything but /, /boot, and swap.
OpenSUSE btrfs installs have /boot on the root filesystem rather than a separate partition from what I've seen on the btrfs list (a recent thread there).
Debian does that by default too, but most of my non-virtual installs are on multiple disks, and I like to keep /boot on a mirrored volume spread across all available disks, keep it on a separate partition to /, use a different filesystem to /, and stick a few extra recovery tools in it. Reiserfs taught me that :) That way if my / filesystem needs some fixing, /boot (being almost exclusively read-only except during upgrades) should still be in one piece. James
