It’s standard as it is a typical use case in private or SME environments. 

And do you really think we distribute dmraid for years now "and it's not even supposed to work right now.“?

And don't hide behind formalistic arguments that just suit you by chance. Your change proposal deliberately makes it impossible for existing server users (or makes it unnecessarily overly difficult) who have relied (and could rely) on us so far to continue using Fedora Server. I consider this irresponsible. And I don't understand why you stubbornly insist on this change proposal as is, instead of looking for solutions that keep mischief away from our users and change to GPT as default (which is undoubtedly the future standard).

This is a completely different case. For disks > 2 TB simply nothing changes, neither better nor worse. For disks < 2 TB your change proposal results in a deterioration. Why do you want it so badly?
