Sure, that works.   It is an especially viable way of doing it for
small systems that won't be handling lots of file growth.

But, there are reasons, especially on bigger systems for dividing
things up.  It makes dealing with some types of problems easier
and heads off problems when some types of files grow unexpectedly.
It can also help make backups easier to manage.

No need for a flame war.  There are reasons for doing it each 
way depending on your situation and needs.
