It will take a special effort to get the installer to better support
ostree layouts. Right now the installer's custom partitioning is
fairly broken with ostree installations. If ostree images are made
blocking, that'll mean the installer bugs relating to this all become
release blocking bugs. The alternatives are:

a. Fix the bugs.
b. Inhibit the presentation of any custom or advance partitioning
installer UI, in effect the installer only supports one known well
tested layout and the user can't get into trouble.
c. Change the release criteria in a way that obviates both a and b.

a. is ideal; b. may inevitably end up being more realistic; c. is
probably untenable.

Sample of what I've run into but I think the main issues are: /boot
must be separate it can't be a directory on root fs; any mount point
must go in /var, there's no way to mount /opt /var or /home but this
needs to be automated on behalf of the user rather than expecting them
to know this. Also it needs to know that ostree owns /var in that it's
established via  bind mount, so separate /var really isn't allowed
right now, although subdirectories of /var could be separate volumes.
