Yes, but a vast /home is pretty-much never what anyone wants. People that are confused by the lack of allocated LVM space will also be confused when /var fills on their 5TB disk whether there's LVM involved or not -- at least there's some chance of them being able to make the filled FS bigger if we've not already eaten all the spare capacity for them. We could always point at the release notes in the installer, and explain that the disk will not be fully pre-allocated for LVM installs.
