Now that you mention it there is another option that I would like to see
with the disk layout.  A lot of the times I am doing a new install over a
previous version of Fedora.  So it would be nice as an option to leave the
partitions alone, but format them and mount them in the same place.
I know that it shows me the previous mount point for normal partitions, but
I think LVM doesn't.
From memory that is correct. My solution was to name my lvs:
LogVolSlash, LogVolHome etc, because the previous lv name is displayed, and can then be assigned by the user in the UI.

Since anaconda {partitioning} can use the old partition labels to display to the user, it would make sense to click a button to say do it {assigning existing labeled partitions to the same named mount points}, rather than requiring user to click through a heap of things. If that made sense, the same should be possible with the lv names {::if:: they were decently named}.
