For what it's worth, as a user I would appreciate both, a simple one
partition image to install, switch, recover, ...
And a standard way to keep data and apps on a separate partition.
If maybe we could have a gta convention for a data partition, distros
could symlink to them. For example, replicant's /data could be symlinked
to the /replicant/data on the shared data partition.
The replicant recovery tool could just rm -rf /data/* if it is not a mountpoint.
