Should it even be in Guided's Installation Options? Or should it be an option within Manual Partitioning? I'm not finding a single source for the tradeoffs between regular and thinp.

Does GRUB support LVM thinp? If not, Manual Partitioning shouldn't let the user put /boot on LVM thinp. Current it does allow an all LVM installation, and it does work.
