What is the rational for demanding that /root be a directory on /, and

I would presume that with runlevel 1 (single user mode), that it would
be a problem to run as root and root's home directory is not available.
Why would it be missing? The /root mount point would be there, the home
directory would just be empty, and that's not an issue.

good point
I think that actually provides more of the actual reason why anaconda
doesn't permit a /root mounted partition though because it would toss
the logs into /root and the mount would hide the logs (but of course
anaconda could probably move the files to the mounted partition but that
would require more coding.
I didn't mean to sound as if I favored /root as a filesystem, but the logic is
bogus, the directory will certainly be there. The main use of the stuff in /root
is for backup of local changes. ;-)
