Is this still the case?

Don't get me wrong - I've always been a fan of functional partitioning,
especially to stop misbehaving processes to mess up the whole system
("disk full, can't even write error log") as well as using features
such as noexec on "untrusted user filesystems". With ZFS of course,
this is all a lot easier, but with UFS, do people still use functional
partitioning instead of "putting everything into one big / because
that's how you do it today"?
