That's imho worth a bug report.  Redundancy, like RAID, is a requirement
for me, and when installing on a laptop, encryption is also a
requirement.  When you cannot install Fedora on encrypted RAID
partitions, it won't go on a laptop (which doesn't have hardware RAID,
but which laptop does).

How about upgrading instead?
