For the record, it was dropped as part of the plan to make the storage
workflow a bit more streamlined and understandable - no-one really liked
the Installation Options dialog, and we decided it was a good trade-off
in the interest of simplicity and understandability to make the
filesystem choice available only in custom partitioning. Custom part is
pretty easy to use if all you want to do is pick a filesystem and
otherwise let anaconda handle things.
