I don't see any reason to have them separate.

I should write "separate from each other"

Because if some process starts spewing log entries left-and-right, only
your /usr/log partition fills up rather than your entire /usr partition.

who does use /usr/log ? I thought it's /var/log :)

I mount /tmp on tmpfs (size-limited) and I think it's better to add this
space to swap, and use /tmp on tmpfs limited to 1 GB.

However I haven't seen /tmp used that much for long time. Maybe in some
cases...

Seems like if I download an .iso using Firefox to my home dir, it
temporarily stores it in /tmp, meaning I have to have enough free space
in /tmp to get the full .iso.

Oh, I know about this bug in mozilla products. And it's one of the most
popular bugs :) I think it was already solved somehow, in newer
mozilla(/firefox) versions.
