Right, that's what the goal is here.

The Phabricator task has intended features, but these aren't implemented
yet, so it's kind of hard to assess potential regressions. ;)

Namely:
> New Calamares release ([ade] says it should be released on Wednesday
at the earliest; should bring LVM improvements galore)
> T32: Calamares should let the user pick what applications they WANT to use
> Full disk encryption T29
> T54: Smart package removal

Yes.
