You could use /tmp on it's own partition and achieve something, if you used 2 linux systems (for example), and mounting that one single tmp partition for them both - that way you would save space for using only one /tmp instead of two. This, I think, is the main reason to make "own" partitions for such systems. Also, if you put /home on it's own partition, you can install a different Linux distribution and format root partition (which might really be needed), but leaving /home as it is, saving your personal data for the new system.
