Well, I believe Fedora should not do this by default. This just adds
complexity, makes boot slower, and offers exactly zero advantages for
laptop/desktop users. Also, sooner or later LVM will be obsoleted anyway
by btrfs which integrates most of the LVM features into the fs
itself. And in contrast to LVM the btrfs userspace is kinda nice.

Is this then just a matter of go ahead and make the change?

I think its needed for LUKS (unfortunately) but I would like to see it
non used for the other use cases.

LUKS works just fine without LVM (LUKS itself uses device-mapper too but
that's not the same).

I think many people would welcome if this step was done, but this
is probably something to discuss with the anaconda people directly? I am
pretty sure tehy won't read our little desktop ML. :-(

Well this is something that the desktop SIG needs to reach conscious
about + Will was just informing me about the slight problem of the
livecd being an lvm snapshot :| so there are some technical hurdle
involved making the actual change.

Urks, LVM snapshots!
That said, I am pretty sure you have the consensus of the desktop group
now, as nobody defended LVM.

I agree that on laptops LVM is not all that useful. But on desktops it is as
it allows easy resizing and reallocation.
What I personally want to see our default auto-partitioning do is to create a
separate '/' from /home, such that reinstallations don't wipe out /home.
