For those unfamiliar, Mageia as a fork of Mandriva retained the same installation cmdline option "readonly=1". Using it presents the following partitioning windows during installation, quite logically, prior to software selection:

Sorry, but I can't see any usability gain here. Choosing only devices that you want to partition, reduces number of things/partitions you must deal with or you can accidentally corrupt.
I'm not sure I understand your meaning. What readonly=1 in Ma*a offers is reduction of the amount of partition tables you don't need or want touched yet can be touched to zero. For those of us who (with a familiar tool or tools) partition in advance, any ability more than to specify mount points adds nothing but opportunity for unwanted, and potentially disastrous, results.
