Disk partitioning resembles open heart surgery. The patient suffers when not done well.
Bad analogy. I therefore refuse the premise.
If Fedora doesn't have good support for custom partitioning people like me will want to
jump to a distribution that does have good support for custom partitioning. And
we will be debugging Ubuntu, Suse, etc. and not Fedora.
You haven't had a point and shoot [1] installer to date with Fedora. a.) parted always wipes the partition map and replaces it, even if you're not changing anything (which causes hybrid MBRs to be nuked, BTW); and b.) it will not let you install to a volume that it's also not set to format. I don't know if these two behaviors will persist in newui.

[1]I mean the user points the installer to an existing valid formatted partition(s) and the installer does not write out a new partition table, does not format the partition, it just starts installing.
Have I just been told to see Figure.1 ?
