Other than the additional root file space (which isn't really necessary IMO)...

Apart from testing, I think that a larger (ext2 or ext3) root file system is an important asset. Right now it is messy to install apps with shared libs in places like /usr/local because there is not much room to share there. Installing on CF or SD is tricky because those are not formatted in a way that allows symlinks (often used for shared libs)
