I for one am not testing LVM since I don't use it. I fact I go out of my
way to remove it so I can have a system I understand. Those who don't
have the skills to remove it aren't testing it in any meaningful sense
either. That would seem to leave a fairly small subset of users, all of
whom could certainly install it it they needed it and really would be
testers in the proper sense of the word.
