We do have two different defaults for the Workstation and Server products, though. I need to read back over all the feedback this got when I first put it up, but for now, I looked back over the draft, and I think one small change is all it actually needs, but the implications change: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Adamwill/Draft_storage_matrix what I've changed is quite simple. In the Guided Installation matrix, the result columns used to be for different filesystems. Now they're for different platforms - x86 BIOS, x86 UEFI, and ARM. The fact that we don't have to worry about the filesystem choice makes this rather nicer, I think. We would probably want to duplicate the guided matrices for Workstation and Server. I think it might be viable right now to replace the current storage tests in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Fedora_20_Install_Results_Template with the simpler ones from the draft (for F21) - we'd have to think about the precise layout, but I think it possibly works as a basic idea. What does everyone think?
