Re: Encrypted volume release criteria

Tackling this one separately:

Current Fedora 22 final release criteria of concern and some distain:

"The installer must be able to create and install to any workable
partition layout using any file system and/or container format
combination offered in a default installer configuration."

That's a lot of concepts to chew off in a single sentence, I can
hardly imagine how long that'd take to translate into another
language. Including English!

- as Fedora ships on official media, the installer supports XYZ
supported storage volume combinations;
- only those combinations are in context; not kickstart, not hand
editing the Python code, etc;
- if the user can compel the installer UI to create a storage volume layout;
- the installer should create exactly that, and successfully install
Fedora to it.

Is that a fair derivative restatement of that criterion?

DRAFT: The Fedora supplied installer must successfully complete an
installation of Fedora to any layout the user creates in Manual
Partitioning.

That pretty much says any possible combination of create, remove,
assign, with the installer itself as the guardian of what those things
can be, that the user can finagle out of the installer, must result in
a successful installation. Not unreasonable if there should be trust
in the UI. Either the installation must happen and work, or the layout
must not be permitted. *shrug*

Could redirect the language it by replacing "must" with "should" to
make this a matter of honor and pride, rather than some sort of weird
edict coming at the last minute for final...
