The very fundamental problem with this approach is that its hard
to get the 3 partition sizes right, particularly as things change over
time, and damned awkward to change their sizes unless you spend
substantial money on something like Partition Magic.

And what have you really achieved by having separate partitions anyway ?

That's just as easy to do if you keep all your data in a /Data tree in the
root. And done like that you dont need to get the size right at install time.
