This expansion of the root filesystem is now something which can be done automagically at first boot, thanks to the capability of adding a moodecfg.ini file in the filesystem in the boot partition. See the template file moodecfg.ini.default in the same directory.
Like the_bertrum says, it doesn't have to be done but it creates headroom you might discover you need later on. Usually I'm reminded I forgot to do it when I start an in-place update and it falls over.
It would seem like an 8GB uSD card is an ideal pick for current moOde---big enough to let moOde do all its normal things---small enough to be inexpensive and not making the owner feel like lots of space is going to waste. Trouble is, small-capacity cards are going the way of the Dodo bird. These days, I find myself using 16GB and 32GB cards because that's what I can find.
