In the specific case i mentionned, there is a risc of loosing data, so i think that it is usefull to prevent. Why you are informed when you switch to expert mode in diskdrake? Twice i avoided to delete the /home partition. To prevent other users, in the greek translation i add the 'formatting (delete data)' For "us" there is no risc. Because we install a system many times. The scenario that i describe could happen if you do an installation for the first time or if you are not used to do it often. Personaly i dont care, it is very clear for me, but i remember my first time when i "felt" that a confirmation was missing.
