Actually, that'd be related to one of my issues with LVM, it gives every install the same default volume names, so plugging a broken PCs drive into a working PC, to work on it, requires quite a bit of mucking around to mount the second drive with the same volume names.
That's a fair criticism. Bad things do happen if you move a disk with generic volume group names or logical volume names to another system.
I would think that's an unusual operation. The simplest answer would be: access your volumes from live media rather than moving your storage to another similar system. Also, as Chris mentioned, Anaconda will attempt to generate unique (or at least, not generic) volume names to avoid that issue on new installs, though it did not always behave that way.
But as this discussion began with a defense of the "typical use case" and "95% of users," I would also note that this is an issue that won't affect most users so it doesn't seem like a compelling reason to avoid LVM in the default layout.
