Explain why you recommend things

Hi,

I've run into your github repo. It's a very great thing to share best practices for system hardening. Also, you organized content such a way it's very clear and everyone can follow your recommendations step by step. What I miss in this repo is explanations on why it's important to perform the things your recommend. You know that people don't naturally do something because they've been told to do it, but they rather do it because they understand the purpose of doing it. We cannot dissociate security measures with the risk they cover.

As an example, I'm curious why you put a high score on mounting /tmp and /var/log on separate partitions.

Appart from that, congrat's for your job here, it will definitly help a lot of people.

Thanks

Yes, that's a good point. I'll try to find some time for this.
