That is where I posted this instance of my argument in the first place; 
it's a point I've raised from time to rime over the years.

FWIW the OS/2 guideline is busiest partition on least busy drive. Linux 
puts it on the least-used partition.

In OS/2 circles, the point when raised usually got some argument,  but 
with a few understanding the matter those who don't understand it think 
about it instead of blindly arguing against it.

I'd be content if the default is no swap partition, and at some point a 
swap file automatically appears.
