It might be useful to have a storage list for Fedora, but I'm on the fence. I'm on fedora-devel, fedora-kernel, and the anaconda lists already. I'm in #fedora-devel, #fedora-kernel, and #anaconda on IRC too. It's not clear to me that the root cause for low communication on this change was "too few lists." Now that I've actively searched for it, I do find, deep in a thread about "partitioning expectations for F18," a tester who was surprised by the change back in August. The surprise makes me think it probably wasn't well communicated to anyone, originally. For example, not communicated to the fedora test lists, even though they existed. (I'm not on_that_ list, so if I'm wrong, please forgive me).
Oh there where quite few other changes they forgot to give heads up about that that...
I also found your "Does this mean we can ( finally ) disable lvm and related services by default" comment in that thread, which gives me a little better context for your passion on this topic.;)
That's not news I have been for ext4 only partition layout for several years to me delivers worse out of the box experience to novice end users.
In F17 the installer offered you to hash/unhash lvm as the default partition layout which rendered this argument moot,
In the newUI they chose to remove that ability from the end users hence back to square one with that debate...
