It is still (barely) time to flip the default back, to what it always was. But there's no way enough time to _start_ the discussion now. It would consume weeks and by that time Beta should be out. I brought this up just over two months ago on both the anaconda and test lists and there was not all that much discussion then. So I don't see why it's such a big deal now. https://www.redhat.com/archives/anaconda-devel-list/2012-August/msg00116.html >From an autopartition point of view, putting in code that's just going to be removed again come btrfs time doesn't make sense me. The autopartitioning for btrfs obviates lvm and md raid (except where md is needed to support a prior full disk IMSM RAID setup). I'm not convinced it makes sense to wedge LVM for autopartitioning when it's not needed in the next release. One release without it is not such a big deal, really. > I think there are some LVM haters in the community who finally saw a chance to cleanse Fedora of this evil, and now will be very angry if someone wants to revert it. They might be wrong, they might be right. But I don't think this is the discussion we want to have now. That discussion should target Fedora 19. Now we should keep the defaults from previous Fedora versions. I like LVM. But I don't care about LVM as default for autopart one way or another. We're just post beta freeze, and this is coming up for serious conversation now? I think it needs to be let go. I think Jesse Keating's reply is a sufficiently good and timely explanation for having set expectations well prior to now.
