I don't like losing 36% (1.0 - 0.8*0.8). The user is not being second guessed. It's assumed they're absent on the issue unless they opt in. In any case a hostname has been specified (by default or by user). > The consequences last a long time (until the VG is deleted.) How is this different than oldUI? Is new anaconda randomly grabbing words from Urban Dictionary to use as default hostnames/VG's? That'd be hilarious, BTW. I don't find it difficult to rename the VG, update fstab, then run grub2-mkconfig, and I'm an idiot at this stuff. > It's not a giant billboard, it's a warning. It adds to clutter in a window that doesn't need more going on in it. While the VG name is not as discoverable in newui as it was in oldUI, this isn't aided with a warning. The warning could only appear inside the Customize reveal widget, and once that's opened the VG name is obvious and the warning superfluous. > It does not force > installation to stop.

A short two line descriptive text for hostname is a positive way to do this, in the Network spoke. But that too would need translation, what two weeks ago?
