Speaking for myself: if the default behavior is to format the root partition, 
and I have to find a small obscure deep hidden checkbox and then confirm a big 
fat warning to persuade the installer not to format it, I'm perfectly content 
with that solution. I don't object against the default behavior, but I like 
when there is an option "yes, I am an advanced user and yes, I really know what 
I am doing, thank you very much" that allows me to override it.

I just want to point out that I believe I have a valid use case and I believe 
it relates to more people than just me (small notebook disks are common, LVM is 
uncommon, /home on root partition in default distro install is common). But 
I'll not fight for it, because of course I'll manage, if needed.
