Ah... I must have gotten confused by the thread.  Sorry about that.

Just emphasis.  For someone who's using their Ubuntu system as a 
personal computer (and even in some server configurations), most of 
the "users" on the system (in /etc/passwd), don't have any need for a 
home directory, and messing around with /home is not going to break 
the system.
