I second Kamil here. I've introduced hundreds of people to Fedora and
"I've got Windows on the disk and need to reclaim space" is by far the
most common scenario among Fedora novices and instead of giving them a
simple dialog we're sending them to the manual setup which I as a Linux
user for 15 years have problems to get oriented in.
Is it really such engineering overhead to keep that dialog there?
