If you do that you will need to manually turn-on soft-updates, which are off 
by default for /,  otherwise the performance will be poor. This doesn't 
matter in a normal layout as / is normally small, and not much writes to it.
  
If this is an old computer that can't boot beyond 1k cylinders, there is also 
the possibilty  that the slice becomes unbootable after a future kernel 
update.
