I vote against that. (=to be enabled by default) LVM is fine for "enterprise" setups, or better, installations where the (expert) admin will need to resize/move partitions in the future. But, for simple machines/users, the complexity of having LVM is IMHO not worth it. (remember also that on all *nix OSes, you can just add a partition, move some files like /usr/share/doc into it and then mount it on /usr/share/doc, thus freeing /usr of some space. No LVM, no virtualization, no ZFS required) -- Say NO to spam and viruses. Stop using Microsoft Windows!
