I am in favor of giving the web UI a shot, but I do think this is a
pretty aggressive timeline given the amount of fairly large issues that
remain to be resolved, especially exactly how the 'choose-your-own-
partitioning' workflow is going to run (considering the stuff we
discussed about constraints around partition size and boot partition
requirements and disk label type requirements and so on). I think we
need to be really ready, in advance, to pull the contingency lever for
this one if it seems necessary. It should be fairly safe to do, since
we'll still be testing the existing UI on other images, including the
KDE live.

Naming nitpicks: I'm pretty sure the existing non-custom partitioning
flow is formally called "guided partitioning", so calling a new
slightly-more-customizable-one "guided partitioning" and retroactively
renaming the existing one "automatic partitioning" might be a bit
confusing, at least to old-timers. Also, I still think of the existing
UI as 'newUI', so I'm gonna keep calling this one 'webUI'. :D
