What does Fedora do currently, if anything, to optimize for

Things like swap and logging can generate a huge number of writes. So I suppose those
should maybe be placed on a
rotating drive if one is available but if not does Fedora do anything to reduce the
amount of writes? Or is everything
related to SSD the responsibility of the user?
I think Fedora aligns partitions to 1MiB boundaries and disables atime (with relatime),
both things are good for SSD drives.
Using tmpfs for /tmp is also ok.
I've been using SSD drives for a couple of years, and in my opinion
concerns about logs and swap are exaggerated.
And having swap on SSD is a GREAT thing if you use hibernation. :-)
