I was indeed lumping home users and professionals together (they aren't
disjoint sets). If the benefits of LVM are mainly in the context of
professional support (i.e. server installations with certain
reliability and uptime requirements) that's fine, but Fedora is
explicitly not meant to be used in these environments. I am assuming
that the "average" Fedora user is his own sysadmin and doesn't want to
be bothered about this stuff.
