Currently, as part of our procedure, we zero LVs once a customer has

zeroing gigabytes worth of space can take too long. Getting new zeroed
LVs ready before sign ups also isn't an option but for other reasons.
Very reasonable
It however is a shame than lvm cannot zero PE (physical extents) on
first access or do a proper background initialisation. As would happen
on hardware raids.
