Probably not. It's just more logical, IMVHO. :^)

Good reason. ;^) - Having thought about it, I should probably also note
that setting up partitions this way may be because in a dual boot
situation, OSX likes to be first, or (on some early newworld machines) has
to be in the first 6-8GB of disk to boot natively. So do it the way that
works best for you. (Ain't that what Linux is for? :)

I think you did. I was just wondering.
