BTW, on servers, I typically install with a small root ext3 filesystem, /usr and /tmp ext3, /var and data partitions on LVM, usually XFS. This avoids the root on LVM issues, but still gets you the majority of the LVM benefit (resizing partitions which can vary greatly in required capacity).
if by "resizing" you mean increasing the size then you are right. i think "resizing" means both increasing and reducing the size.
besides that i would not use xfs as a root filesystem, since fsck.xfs cannot repair some kind of inconsistencies while the fs is mounted (even ro)
