The actual PR is posted in: https://pagure.io/pungi-fedora/pull-request/257 This is only for: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/WorkstationOstree The primary reason to do this is that the blivet defaults break with ostree, since `/home` needs to be `/var/home` with ostree. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1382873 But bigger picture than that, having a split `/home` makes less sense using rpm-ostree, because the primary original rationale for introducing that split was to make upgrades easier by reinstalling but preserving `/home`. With rpm-ostree upgrades should be much more reliable and easier. We also to use XFS (as opposed to the blivet ext4 default) for the same reason as Atomic/Server - it works better with overlay2 because it avoids inode limits. And not using all of the disk makes it easier to do more advanced partitioning *post* installation. For example, in the past I've used dm-crypt for the OS and `/home`, but not for `/srv` where I put non-private data like my git repositories. (Although I recently switched back to dm-crypt for everything for simplicity). Another good example of this is that `container-storage-setup` supports allocating a separate LV for `/var/lib/docker`, so container storage is isolated from the host. Anaconda is making it easier to do arbitrary partitioning in the installer via blivet-gui, but I think doing it post-install is more flexible. One can use scripts as well (e.g. Ansible). The flip side of course is that users are going to wonder why they only have `14G` of space...we should likely teach the installer to have a simple "use all of my disk" button, and also have one post-install (something like Nautilus launching `Disks` with awareness of LVM)?
