The simple screen is there for people who may have several disks and
want some assurance that anaconda's not going to screw around with them
at all.  It's yet another thing to help people feel better that we won't
destroy their data on some non-installation drive.  The simple screen
does not just put all device types into a single view - it only deals
with regular disks.

I have some ideas for how to trim down the number of screens that the
average home user will see, but they require dispatcher work that I
don't yet have time for.
