He did not suggest replication user-homes. But it is really recommended
not to have a single point of failure mountpoint down to the leaves of
the mount-tree. If one has really that much users, that releasing the
volume with the mountpoints of the user-volumes has to take place too
often, then splitting the content of home to different volumes seems to
be a good idea.
