A related item that came up is quotas. XFS supports project quotas. So that's possible in the case where you're on the fence if something should have a separate LV. Project quotas were just proposed as an ext4 feature last month.

Interesting; that means that having a single / partition can be an universal default, instead of supporting / recommending separate /tmp and /var/log. [1] says that group and project quotas are mutually exclusive, though; is it reasonable to effectively say "you may not be able set quotas for group storage, unless the group owns a single subdirectory tree?"
