Yes, of course, but then I suggest you delete your Harmattan for good if you want to do that
See, the reason for having multiple partititons is that different OS'es like to live on their own partitions. Basically Harmattan would also only need one (the root partition) but the home directory is on it's own partition to make it simpler to flash the OS without deleting user data, like in OTA update.
The reason MyDocs is on a separate partition is a bit different, that is done so you can export it to external computers as mass memory. That is also the reason it is formatted by default in such an arcane and braindead FS like FAT

Is the lack of video playback an issue with graphics or with video codecs?

Besides, Android is a bit different case than other Linux distributions. Altough it is running a Linux kernel the userland is set up in a very different fashion from your standard unix based OS'es.

So is Sailfish stable enough to use as a daily device? I have three main concerns:
1. Battery life - Is it optimized enough to survive a full day with moderate usage? Nitdroid drains the battery, but MeeGo never dies in one day
2. Is the audio quality good for calling? I use the microphone for calling just as much as I use sms, so I need it.
3. Is the headphone jack working correctly? Does sound route and work? Music player functionality? (I know how to add shortcut to the harmattan music folder, just want to know if it reads all files (flac, mp3, etc))
Also:
What version do I use? Do I use the 1.0.3.7 provided on the second link on the first page? or do I use 1.0.2.5 for right now? If I use 1.0.3.7 do I need the updated kernel, or is that only for 1.0.3.8?
Also,
Forgive the bombardment of questions :P I'm not the greatest at following a thread (especially one that's nearly 175 pages)

But serious look here #1326 ff. and #1366 too: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...71#post1405271
And then you got the answer at #1707 don't you?
: "We still need the camera to be fixed, as well as GPS and some bugs with the sound."About version to use see #1692 ff. and use 1.02.5 right now!

Lot of remaining bugs, the graphics chip is buggy and this won't be fixed (closed source). No camera, no GPS.
Outdated Sailfish base because of the linux kernel, so more and more unworking apps with time.
And, in my opinion, Harmattan is way better than Sailfish right now, especially because Harmattan is closely integrated with the hardware (notifications for example).
