OK, "can't" is too strong.  But

    The only downside to doing things this way is that you have to
    have a fast hard disk with an efficient filesystem. The
    alternative is to slow down the writing process.

IOW, you need to know what you're doing and plan ahead, which is
precisely what the "everything in /" crowd wants to avoid, no?
