Is the ESP really so special? What about other shared filesystems? One could certainly have multiple linux installations that all use the same /home or /tunes or whatever. Should we schedule removal the first time the user asks us to remove one of these, or should we silently only remove it from the specified root in the UI until/unless they've removed it from the last root it's part of? I know the windows case is different in that the ESP is still shared even when the only root is "Unknown", but the rest seems to overlap.
I think ESP is special in that, if you have multiboot with shared filesystems that aren't ESP, you probably put that in place yourself so you should be well aware of your own setup. But Anaconda by default shares any existing ESPs if you don't do custom install, so we do that for you and you don't opt in (if that makes sense.)
I also think other shared filesystems are more likely to be data. We do separate data partitions from system ones in the list...
It would be *nice* to have some kind of affordance around shared data partitions if we knew they were shared, but I don't know that we do?
