Seems like the Anaconda UI could provide much clearer

Does it even make sense to Anaconda to worry about creating anything
but a very, very basic partitioning scheme in the age of live media?
This has been a discussion for quite a while over on the devel list (the
shortcomings/obfuscation in anaconda). I'd highly suggest that you put
in your $0.02 over there. I have for quite a while but I guess I don't
carry a lot of weight over there.
I'm with you. Should anaconda see a manually-laid-out partition scheme,
it should honor it. It should also permit one to create a partition
scheme that meets one's own needs without having to spin twice in an
anticlockwise direction on your right foot while quoting Omar Khayyam
and then sacrificing a goat under a full moon on the Nazca plains.
Now they're talking about anaconda enforcing its own concept of what a
"secure" password is (and a number of people have demonstrated that some
of the simplest passwords pass its security test--so I have no idea what
they consider "secure"). I've been railing against this impudence and I
think I've moved the peg a bit, but not enough.
Get over onto the devel list and start raising some hell. Perhaps
they'll listen to us real users a bit more.
