I've been meaning to get up to speed on what choices are being made
for the user. I would like to review them and provide input to the
project.

One example of an area that concerns me is the root
volume/filesystem/swap autolayout.

RedHat allows choices of filesystem type for the root filesystem, as
well as allows configuring the LVM for filesystem layout. I understand
the thought is that ZFS will be used for everything, but there are
cases where one may not want to use ZFS.

There are decisions like these that I feel we should provide the
option for the user to make. (As they can't be made post install).
Also, I have never ever been happy with the default filesystem and
disk layouts of any operating system installer. :)

One thing we might want to include is installer "tracks" for various
uses. e.g server, desktop....

Thanks,
Brian

P.S. - Sorry for the late request, I've been meaning to ask about this
since the summit preso.
