kernel developers shouldn't let lack of imagination dictate what users
can't do. just because it's not useful to you doesn't mean it's not
important to someone else.

things you learn from supporting larg customer bases. don't try to second
guess and dictate what your customers need. give them flexibility to do
what they need.

Yes, the reason this was all brought  up was because a friend of mine has a hosting provider and  for whatever reason they were thinking created a 120GB /  on lvm, no SWAP no nothing left, so I think he is going to walk them through booting knoppix and using parted or some other tool to shrink it.
